The small defensive passives go a LONG way in high level Warframe. Seeing as a good combination of powers and team work can easily melt 40s and 50s, but the damage the mobs do with aimbot hitscan can rip off your shields almost instantly or proc an instant bleed which can take you down over 100 hp.

Things like additional armour are long overdue for Warframe and the developers are *only just* starting to notice its significance in the game after all this time... my main example being Volt Prime: normal Volt has 15 armour, Primed version has 85

Doesn't seem like much but this % damage reduction on HP can change a 10hp per tick bleed/poison into 2 damage, which can improve Lone Tenno playstyles and help you pull your own weight in survival, a scenario where even pro players will be downed from the amount of random bleeds that come about from fighting hitscan enemies.
