Also, you don't get what I was trying to point out there. The whole look of Samus had a design goal you know. They didn't just DO that, they did it for a reason. She's part Metroid now. That life form is very evident on her suit. It's part-alive now. That's not just supposed to LOOK like a growth, it IS a growth, metallic yet alive. As such, they made it look biological. Besides, this isn't much different than the orange and purple color combo they had before with all her gravity suits (which by the way are horribly misnamed ).
Yes I know they had a design goal with the Fusion suit, but it still looks terrible. You can argue forever how frog-like and organic the suit looks, but an ugly suit is still an ugly suit no matter why it is ugly. They could have made a much better-looking suit with that plot point in mind.
Platypus are cute in a "haha that thing looks so funny" sort of way.
