Roleplaying a more realistic bent can be fun, too. And it's not like anyone has to indulge me in particular - I'm just one person with one particular view on things.
There's something else worth noting here for this topic in particular - the armorer questline makes it clear that properly made cobalt chainmail is enough to stop bullets, something patently absurd IRL but a fact of life in Eorzea. That alone should help put into perspective just how different the laws of physics are in the game world as opposed to RL. Now, I have no idea how levels translate into the game world (if they mean anything at all), but it seems like even a mundane soldier can make up for a lot with the right equipment...
But this hardly matters for armor, since even a relative scrub Marauder can break apart Elephant-sized, solid boulders with a single swing of an average-quality axe - even if the Marauder in question is a tiny Lalafell.
This is why Eorzea never bothers with Magitech, and only Limsa bothers with cannons. Apparently, all you need to destroy any fortification, anywhere is about a dozen Lalafellin Marauders, unless every single wall in the game is made of stronger stuff than legendarily unbreakable boulders.
