It's not about resistance, it's about compatibility and use case scope.
In 3d a lot of assumptions about the shape of earth and location above ground become non-trivial very quickly. When it comes to precisions required in surveying, local systems are usually prefered, because you can ignore the whole thing of shifting global datums due to plate tectonics.
In essence:a patchwork of local references frames per plate is prefereable to a single global one, when having to work with measurements over the time of decades. Which happen to also work reasonably well in 2D when projected.
