Because it's not typical (worn) armor, maybe?

The only real distinction between the 2 is this... with "Armor" any rating above the damage shunts the damage to Stun Damage, while with "Hardened Armor", If you cannot exceed the hardened armor rating, Damage is not shunted to Stun, it is ignored... in effect it just does not penetrate, nor does it even scratch the surface (well, maybe scratch it, a little), it bounces...
