the core of the issue here is that you need to take hits (and keep taking them) for the resistance to stack up. They let a frame with moderate survival and some self healing to become godly survivable.

But if you can't take the hits needed to charge (or recharge when it drops) the resistance then it doesn't help so it's not for fragile frames (who can't charge it) nor for already godly frames (who don't need it), it's for middle of the road frames.
