It's not just an extra hull. It's also the chance to discard a critical damage at will. If you have four hull and you take a Direct Hit you're down two hull. If you have three hull and Integrated Astromech and you take a Direct Hit you can choose to discard it: you lose your astromech, but your hull value remains at three.
