Plate Armor Endurance study
#6
While endurance is almost certainly a factor, I think cost is a very strong contender as well. But then again, it's very dangerous to overgeneralize about anything.

For example, if you're lugging a giant scuta around, your legs are already pretty well protected, so leg armor is kind of redundant.

A similar example - if you're garrisoning some kind of fortification, there will generally be a wall protecting at least everything below the waist.
