What does DnD lore say about mages being unable to cast in armour?

I have found many fan-made explanations, but nothing official - and wasn't this restriction removed in 5ed? None of the explanations I found explained the difference which allows clerics to use magic without any penalties. I understand that divine magic is granted by gods while arcane is a combination of a natural gift and study, but it seems to be limited to the source of the ability, not its nature - don't clerics tap to the weave the same way? Or wasn't divine magic affected at all when the weave collapsed?
