It made perfect sense from a balance stand-point. The suit had the lowest ehp of all assaults (of its class, and almost all of the logis, too), had the worst slot loadout of all suits, and required hybrid tanking to survive, which negates the only other true bonus the suit had: fast run speed. I am not even bringing up that the Minmatar Logi had a faster shield regen time and rate (ignoring the current Assault bonus, at prototype level, Min assault gets 22/tick vs 20/tick of the Min Logi... the 1 hp to armor was overshadowed, greatly, by the 5 hp that the Min Logi got, however). I played Min Assault since I started the game, and wreck prototype suits even when using an Advanced Min Assault (no damage mods, either), but the suit has MASSIVE flaws and the 1 hp/tick was a small bone thrown to an otherwise hard class to fit, hard class to play properly, and in the end-game, near useless. Have you ever wondered why 95% of all Min Assaults you see are pure trash? It probably isn't their skill level... but fitting the suit is a nightmare and if not fit properly, nearly impossible to play with.
ETA: Before you cry me a river about the 5 highs, 2 lows, keep in mind the pg/cpu constraints of the suit, and how much pg/cpu it takes to fit the 5 highs WITH a prototype weapon... until I got 5 in Core Upgrades, Engineering, and Electronics, I had to run basic modules to fit a prototype light weapon, and even after, still use a basic in low slots, basic sidearm, and a basic grenade, and can't even fit equipment. Oh, and because of it, the suit had 650 hp... and has no speed advantage as all shots land now.
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end

Honestly, it never really made much sense for the Minmatar, who rely on speed and shield tanks (or merely speed and damage mods, and no tank), to have a built in armor rep bonus, other than on low tier suits, and only then to compensate them for the lack of a low-slot.
Any Min Assault with no tank and all damage mods would be unable to fit a weapon. They might be able to fit a basic one, maybe even an advanced, but at the cost of next to no-lows, no side arm, and no equipment. The cost of the damage mods are to great to make that even close to viable... let alone, the suit having around 250-300 ehp with no tank means you'll get 1 shot by scrambler rifles, and your time to live under any enemy gun fire is less than 0.2 seconds. Bad assumption there...
Min Assaults at proto level will, at most, run 2 dmg mods, and then have to spend the rest of their cpu/pg on a weapon and tank so that they can survive.
