There's no reason you couldn't have a worse defensive help that uses an action, and the better version that uses a reaction. If anything, I would expect they left it out because it's a bit niche. The fighting style always has a chance to stop an attack (if it triggers, an attack has been made). However, the action version could be foiled in many different ways. The creature might not attack (disengage and reposition). It could use an attack that doesn't require an attack roll (fireball). It might move out of range and make an attack. There's significant risk of a wasted action.If I had to guess it would be along those lines.</blockquote>
