My understanding, and I haven't done a detailed look myself, is that the segmentata is also less common in the East, where we see a lot more scale. But the literature - esp. the English language literature - has a strong western focus, as do reenactment groups.

Compounding that, it's clear that mail was the lower 'status' armor from things like Trajan's column, but trying to figure its prevalence is tricky. Mail is just a lot less likely to be preserved in the archaeological record in a way that we can interrogate or even recognize.
