I was an EMT so luckily I know how to do gloves. I keep alcohol wipes in the car for them and wash my gloved hands with tallow soap when I get home. Then I take them off. I have not heard of surface-to-human transmission. It’s really more of a “make other people feel better” type of thing, especially for workers.

The stores reek of alcohol sanitizer and bleach. Probably does no harm. But in an isolated household, it fosters OCD tendencies and reinforces fear.
I think it can happen if someone recently sneezed or coughed on the surface, or on their hand right before touching the surface, and you touch it soon after. The metal doorknobs in public places have antimicrobial properties, so do help protect against that.
