Do you think it's because the yin release that produce it is so strong

I think the more susanoo matures the stronger it is and unlike bijuu mode susanoo is a multi layered chakra entity possibly playing a part in its durability

I think it's just more parallels

Susanoos main function is defense hence it starting as a rib cage

Meanwhile bijuu cloak main function is offense starting as the one tail cloak

but they both have pretty good defense and offense all around still

Well it's pure chakra and yin is used to give it form through compression. It's like wearing a compressed suit of armour. The more formed it is the more compressed/concentrated it it or rather layered would be more appropriate.

Plot device for Kishi to keep Uchiha dudes alive. Miss the old days when ocular powers were supplementary to skill & hand seals. Now, ninjas just strain their eyes to become demi-gods.

They both have the same durability at their prime. The compression of the chakra is what makes them durable.

Susanoo isn't manifested by Yin Release. It's manifested by Chakra. What makes it durable is the fact it's more of an emphasis for defence and less of an offense. PS is able to defend from mountain range attacks, but its attack power is only cutting a mountain. Susanoo is an inspiration from the myth.

But Susanoo still has a weakness, as with any other Jutsu. A Susanoo manifested only from the upper body, meaning it has no legs is weak from underneath attacks. Obviously it's got no legs, so it's vulnerable when you attack it from below. This was shown with Gaara pulling Madara from his Susanoo, and Kabuto destroys Sasuke's ribcage Susanoo via Suiton. Attacks from underneath are leg-less Susanoo's weakness.

A legged Susanoo nullifies its previous weakness, but it's still prone to raw power or hax techniques, which either destroy Susanoo entirely or affect the user. Jinton atomized it before showing its made of molecules; Banshon Ten'n can pull the user; Gakido can absorb it etc.

How do they work anyway? Some things can pass through but other can't? Does mist work? Microscopic bombs?

I don't remember this happening but maybe it can turn to tangible to intangible

Chakra is a non material thing that can be given physical properties
