I mean, why worry about the super-heavy plate all around, if the most important organ, the heart, is perfectly nekkid right there in front of you, with a big-ass hole to point yer sword through?! And breast shapes on armor end up with the same ridiculous notion. Plate armors shape is sleek outwardly because armor is NOT supposed to absorb attacks but push them to the side. Attacks just slide off towards less critical points or into thin air. Breast shapes do exactly the opposite, leading stray attacks that would cause little damage straight to the heart, making sure that even a random hit would be a potentially deadly strike.

So yeah, I DO want them to stick with full-out heavy armor designs for male and female both. It's fine for stuff like chainplates, leather and similar armors that by nature absorb attacks instead of deflecting to look appropriately to who wears them. That's perfectly reasonable. But plate armor?! Hell no.
If all we had were dumb fantasy bikini armor sets for women, I would totally be on-board with you. But as it stands right now the vast majority of sets available are practical heavy armor. So I don't mind them loosening the requirements to introduce some less practical designs for people who want that sort of thing. A few more boob holes, slim profiles, and light leather segments will not significantly deprive people of full-body plate options.
