This way, a player can have Anima armor if he wants, the weight and cost is the same.

Remember that Lorica Segmentata is cheap segmented plate.

Only munitions-grade lorica segmentata—or at least, that's the impression I got from Low-Tech. Seem like nothing should be preventing a well-to-do Roman from getting a better-fitted harness.

They could but it doesn't seem like they did. There isn't a single depiction anywhere of a Roman officer wearing segmentata. If they had the means then they wear mail or scale or a breastplate.

Probably because hamata is best than segmentata, the advantage of segmentata is how easy it is to produce.
