Tbh Chainmail should have a special property, like maybe being added ontop of your existing armor or having resistance to projectiles (since chain mail was good for that in real life)
The only reason you could is because everything needed a recipe to exist and every block had to be obtainable through commands, so making it craftable through an item you can't get normally fit what Notch wanted at the time, once they figured out how add an item without needing a recipe and make Fire unobtainable with commands, in short it was only craftable because it needed to be but still needed to be unable to be crafted
