Its more about different suites/levels of protection.
yes, armor is protecting your devices on the network. scanning them for their own vulnerabilities/etc. But if you download a program onto your device willfully and its a virus/malware, then you'd need something on that device to scan/know it.
Kind of like how companies used to sell malware protection, web browser protection, antivirus protection, etc.

So Bitdefender then via their app get installed on those devices and acts as virus malware protection? Much like say avast or similar products? So if you have something like that say on a computer or iPad why would you need Bitdefender

You'd have to check with the specifics of the program you install on your device for what it actually protects against.
