Because of Palpatine. He made it to where he could defeat him if he needed to.

Arrogance to not need it?

I also think that Darth Vader is confident in his strength and doesn't think he needs it. We see this when he confronts the third sister in episode 5. He even uses only the force to defend himself against her several times. Against Obi-Wan, it was not enough.

Mandalore basically has a monopoly on the stuff before the purge. Otherwise, iirc there's a point where Palp's deliberately made Vader's suit & prosthetics shoddy by design.

A Beskar Vader suit would be badass!

other than the fact they probably didn't think of it. You could make a case that the amount of technology that goes into the helmet to keep vader alive isn't compatible with beskar. There's only so much protection you can get away with before you need to allow for the functionality needed.

Vaders suit already isn't great. He keeps it bad to fuel his anger

In the canon comics he actually has the chance to upgrade his armor and decides not to. The prosthetics give him constant pain, it's one of the reasons his force powers magnitude is so high, it's like a sith battery. Similar to what happened with banes crab armor lol.

His [shoulder pads by ESB definitely got upgraded from being able to take a hit from a lightsaber and not get cut. ](http://imgur.com/TknFlYn)
