>explosive resist also protects against bug acid
no, not against the acid itself. bile spewer acid spit is not explosive in any part and appropriately does not get reduced by fortified.Webm related shows 1 glob of bile spewer spit hitting and breaking an arm and the damage is identical in heavy fortified and heavy gunslinger.

Now you might say "but I can survive facetanking an exploding bile spewer in fortified but not siege ready" yes, because that death explosion is both acid and explosive. Same with a bile spewer mortar shot, and same with the acid spit of bile titans.It's not that acid is inherently explosive, those attacks just do both types of damage.
