as of right now in minecraft leather has no real use in survival. it is far easier to go on a quick spelunking trip and grap 24 iron ore rather than farm a ton of cows and really work for the leather. you would have to get sooooo many cows to even try the get enough for the armor. I believe that leather is supposed to be the easiest armor to get because it is the weakest out of all the armor. I think that Jeb should increase the drop rate of leather when you kill a cow so you would just have to kill 12-24 cows instead of 5-10 herds of cows to get some leather armor.

Leather has tons of uses in survival:
-Bookcases -> Enchanting -> Defeating Ender Dragon & Wither
-Books -> Trading
-Leather Armor -> Fashionable Cothing via Dyeing
Your complaint is that leather armor is very difficult to collect given that in the early stages of the game leather armor is mostly good for dying. This is a little awkward but maybe leather armor will come to be seen as an end-game item for fashion only. Really, depending on how long you play a given world, iron armor gets precious little use.

Don't forget books for writing in!
And yes, realistically, it should not require an entire cow hide for one puny little book... same goes for needing 4 hides for boots, etc etc. Cows need to drop moar leather.

Psgh, who write in books other than to trade them? Haha, good point.
And I agree, given that one piece of leather makes one book, and FIVE make a hat, a cow should probably drop more.
