Something that you can only obtain from generated chests? On smp that means anyone who joins the server after a week have almost no chance of getting horse armor. People will literally walk for hours on SMP just to find generated structures and chests. Horse armor would be gone before anyone had the chance to get it.
And technically speaking there is the possibility of horse armor just not generating on a map AT ALL because its not a guarantee that it will spawn.
Same goes for animals.
And villages.
And the dragon egg.
And pretty much every non-renewable resource in Minecraft.
SMP is first come, first served.

And technically speaking there is the possibility of every person on Earth being struck by lightning at once, because it's not a guarantee that it won't happen.

I thought the Ender Dragon respawns in smp so anyone can fight it?
Nope.
Once it's dead, it's dead.
