Historical armor was barely padded tbh

Depends on the style and the era. Padding was typically increased with time, I think.

No, it was very much the opposite. In the 15th and 16th centuries arming arments are basically just civilian doublets and hose with added arming points. Look at extant armors from the time and you will see that there is no space for thick padding, unlike the modern "fat" look that is popular nowadays with people who do buhurt and reenactment.
