This is likely a design holdover from when chemistry could easily oneshot blob cores by getting a pitcher and filling it up with flurosulfuric acid. Pair that with a fact that heat shield would completely nullify a blobs attacks, this made early stage blobs very very weak. With the chem nerfs this holdover is unlikely to be neccesary.
