Breach between cylinders would be a mis-fire issue, which would be diagnosed with other methods, like a compression test
Blown head gasket or cracked head often won't cause mis-fire until later stages
The Glove Test is done because it is simple(no tools) and free, and it either takes a blown head gasket or cracked head off the table, or confirms it, so you don't waste time or money on non-fixes.
It is just a step in diagnosing possible problems
