Why do many of the DJI videos show the Mavic flying with the plastic gimbal cover on?  Are they trying to say that we should keep it on?

It should NOT be left on.  It causes glare when the sun hits it.

I did notice the same thing.
Maybe on test flights only, but for sure not if you are planning to make some nice footage.

Even more, the plastic cover in fact also covers the cooling vent holes behind the camera.

It is always the users' preference to fly the drone with or without the gimbal cover. It will protect the camera from the wind to some extent but might also sacrifice the resolution or quality of the pictures and videos in some situations. It is according to your need.
