I'm unsure if you know already /s, but steel is quite heavy. In Middle Earth, Mithril is severely light, enough so for a halfling with little armour training (yes, this exists) to run around in. Steel is very sluggish, heavy, and overall a burden in real life.

Any good tribe defending also has to keep in mind their defensive bonus, using their own terrain to fight any attackers. Oh, and ranged weapons exist for a reason.

TL;DR: Realism, no support
