I've seen a dog wear booties on just his left side.
I've seen a dog with a mask. Like not even a collar. A mask.
I've seen a dog with tin foil on its tail. Just why not.
To be fair though the whole booties thing is so stupid... That's why you train your dog to wipe their paws before entering the house... Scientists didn't make the booties. Random fashion designers did. Chances are they just saw 4 paws and didn't even think about what were legs and what were arms.

Either way that point is invalid. I wear socks and gloves to protect my body from getting dirty/cold/lose heat. Doesn't mean I have 4 legs... Doesn't even mean I walk on two legs. Most people who use aid still wear socks... Even people without toes wear socks... Hold on. Can we please just focus on how stupid socks are? If it weren't for socks and our human nature to just live with the 'okay for now' we probably would have already found a way to make shoes that are so fancy that they never retain too much moisture, don't get dirty, and are easily wearable without having to take them out... #DownWithSocks2016

Booties are necessary during the winter when there is salt spread all over the roads.
That salt is a lot stronger than regular table salt and can actually damage the padding on the bottom of a dog's paws if left unprotected.
As for socks, they may wear them for the same reasons we do. Cold paws.
