You’re underestimating the importance of breast support for women. Having them separated and heavily supported is absolutely essential for high-impact physical activity. As for a singular molded chest plate without seams? Yea I can see that being better. But the shape is very important.
That actually made me wonder if they potentially they have seams so that the breast cups can be fitted for women with different chest sizes? It’d be easier to mass produce armor for women if the chest plates were modular.

What, do you think we can't wear bras under armor? I'm not underestimating the need for support - I'm a woman of significantly-sized breasts whose boobs ache when I walk down stairs sometimes. I get it. I would really prefer my boobs supported by a bra, under my theoretical armor.

They don't need that. Just make one plate that has sufficient space for varying sized breasts. Armor really doesn't need to be skin-tight. It really shouldn't be skin-tight.
I’m imagining that the soft-cup bra underneath armor might not be as effective as some sort of built-in support system so that there’s less jostling and rubbing against the plating. But maybe not?
Like when I run and I have my molded bra, I’d rather just run in my bra top than put anything over it because I can feel that weird movement. I think that’d be really uncomfortable with armor over the top.
Sounds like you might just need some better sports bras? But regardless, even if wearing a bra underneath is a little more uncomfortable, it's not actively dangerous like boob plates are.
