I've been curious as to the exact reasons why, as well. It's interesting because many of the armors leave the legs bare or uncovered by anything more than cloth - especially the early light armors.

Speaking of which, that always bugged me. Why in the hell would anyone choose to wear Hide armor, or that Fur armor which is just a skirt and leaves the entire torso (and much of the legs) bare? Surely they'd freeze to death if they weren't a Nord and naturally resistant to cold.
