The rules at our club is that mats to be used from fairways at all times in the winter or from the rough. What really annoys me is when I go on the course and see divots on the fairway who, because they don't agree with them, decide not to use them, irrespective of the club rules. And for the par 3's where again we say that mats must be used, they get torn up because people don't use them. That's just pure selfishness in my book.
As has been said, it's the fact the grass doesn't grow in the winter in the cold which causes the issues.

Never used one in my life, but if it has a benefit for the spring/summer months then i'd suck it up and use them - after all it is winter and there are places where literally courses are closed due to bad weather.
