Because it's what make Elites elite.
Bungie loves Elites.
Just look at the Elite officer armor that comes with Halo Reach Limited edition.
Also, Halo 3 Elites have advantage in SWAT since they're harder to headshot.
Also, they can equipment jump with the Power Drain and have a badass sword slashing animation with the Energy Sword (crouch + lunge).
Also, they can do the secret grenade throw featured on the level Floodgate.
Also, Arbiter is the greatest friendly AI they ever made.
Also, the Elites in Campaign can be stuck and take out Energy Swords. They are 10x more useful than Marines on Legendary.
Also, the four Arbiters glitch exists. They clearly intended for this to happen or they would have made the separatist Phantom indestructible.
So don't look at the lack of Elite armor permutations as a bad thing. Bungie gave Elites many unfair advantages over Spartans. They remove equipment jumping with the Power Drain for Spartans yet they leave the Elites alone? Clearly a indication of favoritism.
