People might regard their buses etc as quite tough, and, that might affect them? Or, are they still relatively fragile?
And there's a special strain of handwavium out there that's designed to provide even more armour to whatever it's applied to. This strain first appeared in late-autumn 2008, and spread from its origin point so quickly that almost nobody remembers who created it. (Which suits Noah Scott just fine - he doesn't want anybody realizing this particular strain of handwavium was seeded with something that Doug Sangnoir left behind.)

It makes sense to me that something built for 3D movement would be more maneuverable in three dimensions than something built for 2D movement would be.
