Well... I am not saying leather offers good protection. I am trying to say that modern leather "replicas" are probably lighter and more comfortable to wear than metal armor. And the people who wear leather "replicas" today can ignore the limited protection - nobody is trying to slash/stab/kill them.
And, they do not have to deal with rust every time they put the armor on...
So, I guess that at least some of those who wear leather armor are simply lazy...
