It could just be that they are unfamiliar though, right?

“The armor has been proofed” doesn’t look so bad. “The armor has been proven” actually looks a tiny bit more awkward to me because it brings in too much of the math meaning.

Prove as a noun, though, I agree it is a little awkward.

But this is a request to change the language (where are those filed?) so I guess we will get used to it if it goes through.
