If you bring a hard shell and appropriate mid-layers - why do you pack a soft shell?

I generally think it’s pretty hard to beat the durability of a soft shell vs a puffy or rain gear outer layer, which is how I justify my soft shells. It’s hard to argue against a puffy and shell outer because of the versatility, but when you look at what good rain gear costs, it makes me nervous to brush bust or climb cliffs in it.
I’ve never considered a wind shirt (as mentioned above) and maybe I should be.... anyone have any recommendations for a good one?
I'm new to all this and have only purchased several clothing items at this point. This is going to be my initial approach.On cold weather hunts, I’ve gone consecutive days on end without taking a guide jacket off. I’ll put my puffy on over it for cold sits, unzip the pits for moving and sleep in it, too.
