It was not suited to their fighting style

Would full plate armour have worked in places like Morocco? Is it possible to utilise Western and Central European warfare in that kind of climate?

You mean to prevent assassinations? Because you don't really expect those to occur. Why didn't Louis I. of Orleans wear armor when he was cut down in the streets of Paris?

What even was the style armor medievial (which time period exactly?) marrocons wore? And how did medieval marrocon warfare play out?

They wore multiple layers of maille instead.

No, but partial plate was worn at times.

Why bother? You're not going to participate in fighting that much, existing armor worked for your environment & warfare style already (plated mail), and most of your killing is done at range anyway with firearms.
