The reason Gondor doesn't have plate is because no plate was used in Middle-earth. There isn't a single reference to it at any point, not even for Thorin, who wears a coat of gilded mail. If plate existed, it would have been mentioned at some point. Therefore, regardless of whatever logic we create to try to prove it existed, it will not because it is simply unmentioned.
