Nope, they should be for everyone, just really hard to fit. Scouts would be the only ones to be able to fit them easily. This allows people to make specialized, though gimped fits to make use of cloak, where scouts are given the freedom to fit as they please (assuming better fitting capabilities for scouts, since they're just god awful right now)
Also scouts will have reduced motion blur when moving, making them mobile while cloaked, unlike others who will be pretty obvious to attentive players.

It's an equipment. Equipments go in equipment slots. Have an equipment slot? Then you can equip this equipment, assuming you have the grid to do so.
In EVE Covert Ops ships aren't the only ones who can fit cloaks, they're the only ones who can fit covert ops cloaks (in effect). One is a basic cloak that doesn't offer much utility aside from remaining hidden while sitting still, where the cover op cloak allows movement and has significantly less drawbacks.
This is how they should be in DUST. Proto cloaks should require so much grid that if you aren't a scout, you might be able to fit an advanced weapon and some basic modules on a proto suit with that cloak, where a scout can fit that as if it were a standard module.
This promotes diversity, which is healthy for the game.

That a way to ignore that standard cloaks can be fit by all ships

I would concede that maybe Scouts should be able to fit them the "easiest" and reap the most benefit for using one, but if I want to "gimp" my Heavy Commando Suit with a cloaking device and only have enough CPU left for two sidearms, then so be it!
I want to be able to 'gimp' my scout, by fittinga forge gun on it. When that is allowed, then you can have a cloak on your commando suit.
Implying that they're even remotely the same thing
CCP wants it to be a general equipment because it should be, scouts will be the only ones to fit them without ruining their fit, and they'll be the only ones to get bonuses directly related to cloaking.
