Totally disagree. I have been playing Path forever (40k+ kills on him). But I enjoy playing other characters as well and I 100% feel the difference with regard to how fast I’m being melted. Shooting people in the limbs is very common in any FPS. Taking full damage on limbs is a big deal; especially when skill is relatively close between players.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Go get a friend, go into the firing range, have them pick a character with Low Profile and record yourself killing them only hitting bodyshots. Have them switch off that character and onto one without Low Profile, and not a Fortified character. Use the same weapon, aim for the body, and record again. When you're shooting, stand right on top of them, making sure that you're not letting distance to target affect your calculations. All calculations done below are done with a calculator, with distance to target set at 0.
Put the two clips side by side, start timing each clip when the first round is fired, and compare times.
I guarantee you're not feeling anything other than a nocebo. Weapons like, Spitfire, R301, LSTAR, R99, P2020 and Flatline, it's a very, extremely minute difference. Nowhere near as pronounced as you claim. Something like the Longbow, with its 0.7 second decrease is really noticeable however.
