I think you're misunderstanding the point of Extra Option. The idea is that it's a way for the GM to allow an optional rule in the game without making the assumption that everyone is using it. So it's only available if the GM is already okay with the optional rule.

So if Extra Option (Bulletproof Nudity) is allowed in a game, then Bulletproof Nudity exists in the game world, and anyone who takes the perk can make use of it. This means that pretty much anyone planning on going shirtless is going to take the perk.

So it's just a way to tap into an existing law of the universe, not a super power in and of itself. Comparing it with Enhanced Defense is like comparing sunglasses with the shade of a mountain -- both shield your eyes from the sun, but one is personal equipment while the other is a feature of the landscape that anyone can stand under.
