Why is Borderlands the only shooter with lootable energy shields?

Halo, Warframe, Destiny, The First Descendant, any shooter with energy shields, none of them let you loot different types of shields with unique functions besides Borderlands. Is this a thing in other games?

I know Horizon lets you find one and there's a drop in Helldivers 2, but they are only shields in each game, not like having different types. In Horizon, the shield still regens while taking damage if it's empty, and I don't know any other shooter that does that.

How would you like to see this done in more games?

(The reason I'm specifically saying "energy shield" is because somebody before thought I meant the shields you pick up realistically, like Elder Scrolls or Dark Souls, even when I listed these games; I don't know if it was a troll or rage bait, but I hate being misunderstood.)
