      Armor being bulky / unwieldy is a myth, probably stemming from fantasy books and rpg’s. It was made with movement in mind. There are accounts of knights doing crossfit in armour. But since a book about a tiny halfling wouldn’t be fun if it ended with “and then he met a knight in armour and fucking died as his shitty dagger bounced off”, then they had to take artistic license.
