My lawyer said I cannot proceed the word...
Why does skimpy armor HAVE to be a problem with you people? Just leave ♥♥♥♥ be for the people who enjoy them.
Moralist bleeding hearts are far worse than the "problems" they fight against.
Still, I have no problem with skimpy armour. Skimpy armour might be considered unimmersive though because skimpy armour is an oxymoron in a way.
Then there were the roman gladiators who wore protective armor (leather) on their arms and legs and a loincloth to preserve modesty, but were otherwise bare-chested and very much revealed.
One thing people forget is that every piece of armor slows you down or constricts you in some fashion. Obviously bikini armor isn't always the right choice, but it's also sometimes the right choice depending on the fighter, their style and weight class, and what they're doing.
Fighting a monster that can literally swallow you whole really makes it so heavy armor serves no point: It'd just be an iron coffin the first hit they get on you when it dents and crushes your internals and now you can't even get it off.
In Monster Hunter you are hunting monsters that would always have a risk to hit you. Even just simple fabric or hair severally cushions a blow. It's actually believed to be a reason why men evolved to have facial hair. Because a punch or hit to the face does much less damage to the skin when the man has a beard. It actually absorbs a bit of the impact.
For this reason, I think a lot of people intuitively know bare skin isn't practical for a monster hunter profession and would be less immersive. I still think you can have hunters show skin in spite of immersion of course. After all, the Sonic onesie wasn't designed for immersion either.
