Why did Gigabyte use cheap plastic shrouds for Pascal cards?

Is it to reduce weight? The plastic seems so cheap and it bends on touching.

Why did Gigabyte do this?

Weight and Money.

Plastic is much cheaper than a metal shroud, easier to manufacture.

Colleague of mine bought a 1070 G1 and it didn't look or feel as bad as you described.

I agree. I have a GTX 1060 G1, and it still feels high quality to me. It doesn't look cheap.
