Made a post on Reddit about this too:
IMHO there's no good reason for it not to be used in TvZ. I see vessels being picked off left and right after getting plagued, or needing to be brought back to be repaired.
The APM argument makes zero sense because it takes more APM to bring your damaged vessels back to be repaired, whereas there are so many benefits to getting restoration (You could bait plagues out so the M&M army doesn't get plagued, you could use restoration on plagued BCs, etc)
Thoughts? Has anyone asked a progamer about why they don't research it?

Yes and zergs should make queens and protosses should use dark archons and arbriters more in PvZ.
Regardless one way or another they should retain their vessel count better, but to what end? Are they going to micro 30 vessels? Is the gas going to be dumped into BCs that won't be able to be hit by restore that often because they're on the outskirts of the map?
Fully agree though that losing plagued vessels to one muta is foolish, restore or repair doesn't matter to me.
