At least in theory, since certain things cannot be translated into game mechanics (yet).
Anyhow, the reason for this is that they wear armor. After being hit by a few fire spells... well, try to imagine being encased in hot metal tightly close to your skin.
It is just as susceptible to cold temperatures and an efficient electricity conductor as well, unless I'm mistaken. Come to think of it, I'm surprised that DA books and comics haven't addressed that. Or maybe they did and I just don't remember.

Try running with Katari warrior against spirit enemies - that'll tell fast how vulnerable...

As someone who mains a SnS warrior, and also writes combat scenes, thank you for pointing this out! That said, this greatly depends on the exact type of armor. Historically, and indeed even in DAI, there is a base cloth and/or leather layer, which will act as a temperature buffer (especially for cold). We see this on Cassandra and Blackwall as well. Most of the armor in the game consists of separate metal plates on specific area (breastplate, arm guards, grieves), rather than full encasement, though there are some full plate armors as well. Regardless, you do raise a good and interesting point about the Inquisitor's (and warrior friends') armor turning into an oven or icebox.

Now picture a knight in full plate trying to fight a high dragon without the use of heavy magical resistance.
