Defense isn't as effective as HP as most hard Quests feature fixed damage attacks. Let's take WST-1096 from Bariura's Extra Dungeon for example. Depending on the units' max HP, you could potentially live the ultimate attack, which deals 210% of all units' HP  without any mitigation, just by guarding without using Ramna, Arbonella, etc. Though, you are limited to 3 uses so you have to defeat the boss within 24 turns.

This item might not hold use for many missions, but, like you said, it holds a very good use for newer players.
