because like everything in Reach, they have tried to evolve a Universe beyond its constraints, which just jumbles and confuses everything. the Autumn being on Reach even though it was never said to have landed (hell can it even land?!), armour abilities that Noble team have but the more advanced suit worn by John in Halo II didn't have anything like it, the list goes on and on and on. the whole Universe is a mess and needs recompiled from the start with everything published (games and books) fitting into the exact same universal constraints, so they will all be correct.
The Armor Abilities were experimental prototypes on Reach, which was where a great of the R&D for the UNSC was done, and they were lost with a bunch of other prototypes and technology when it fell. That's why Chief did not get any AAs, plus the AAs were not widely fielded and Reach was one of the few theaters of the war they saw action in.
And yes, the Autumn can land, look at Halo: CE if you don't believe me. Sure that landing was not optimal because they crash landed, but obviously it can land. Cortana even talks about a landing sequence.
I really see nothing that's causing a mess in the Halo Universe. There are few messy corners that haven't been entirely cleaned up yet with Reach, but it's nothing that is causing the whole Halo Universe to be a broken and confusing pile of nonsense. It's just the events surrounding the Battle of Reach that need a little straightening up, and they're so minor that even the fans can come up with plausible and reasonable explanations.
