If you're in a warm climate I can see how it might not be as necessary but if you want to leave for a few hrs, their tiny bladders fill very fast and they feel more at ease that they have a correct place to relieve themselves.

I hear ya on the Ohio winters! We've already had tons of snow!
I trained mine for both because of the winters, and they don't like going out in the rain. I put a jacket on them and take them for walks when it's cold, but if we're getting a snowstorm or the snow is really deep, they go on the pads. Also, I am ill alot so this helps if I'm unable to take them out. Once hubby comes home, he makes a path with the snowblower so they can still go out, but not if the temps are really cold.
I get the large packs with 100 pads which are about $22 and they last 3-4 months because they don't always use the pads, only in bad weather, in the middle of the night if they have to go, and when we aren't at home.
