It makes perfect sense. Aside from Obi-Wan and Sidious, no one knows about Anakin's massive injuries. To show those injuries would be to show weakness, which is why the only time Vader ever took his helmet off was in his Meditation Chamber(also the only time he could breathe without it) and when he wanted to see Luke's face with his own eyes before he died. His helmet had a rebreather and scanners, while his chest piece monitored his vitals and kept him alive. The rest was just menacing attire unless you can prove otherwise.
Because while it was state Vader supposedly had Beskar gloves in the books, Beskar doesn't exist in the movies, so you can't make that claim. Either we assume it was Force Deflection, which Anakin would know by that point with continued Force study(especially since he was fast enough to hold his hand up because he knew where Han would shoot), or his robo hand tanked the blaster bolts.
