Because damage taken scales inversely with remaining damage. At 75% resist, you take 25% damage. At 76%, you take 24% damage—a 4% reduction in total damage taken. Moving from 75% to 90% cuts incoming damage from 25% to 10%, which more than doubles your effective health (2.5x survival buffer).
Overcapped resistance is the amount of resistance you have above your maximum cap. In high-tier maps, curses like Elemental Weakness and monster Exposure reduce your resists by 20% to 35%. Having +35% overcapped resistance ensures your actual damage reduction never drops below maximum.
