Back when wars took place a few days' walk from home, and when an aristocratic hoplite could affors an armor-bearer to schlep his heavy gear, the extra protection may have made sense. When the war was hundreds or even thousands of miles away, it's amazing how quickly men got rid of extraneous gear.
In Italy, adoption of the scutum may have made the extra limb protection obsolete.
