Magic being present isn't a good reason for armor to basically be non-functional due to massive design flaws or overall just poor construction quality. Like why would anyone ever pick something like pic rel, when a significantly better armor is widely available and fairly cheap? Mail armor is present in Skyrim, the "poorly equipped" rebels use it.
Shit, magic being widely means you would want better armor with more layers for enchanting anyway. Having 4+ enchantments just on your torso alone because you are wearing a tunic+ a gambeson + mail + plate would be absurd.
