You think soldiers in real life all wear the exact same gear, no matter the role? There's gotta be specialization in the gear if there's specialization in the troops. You can't make gear that's perfect for every task. Besides, a number of trooper variants use modified versions of the normal Stormtrooper armor already. Shocktroopers, Shadowtroopers, Sandtroopers, etc. It's not wasting resources if it's making them more effective at their job.
