There's a distinct disparity between the suit bonus philosophy. For example, if Scouts got the same treatment as Assaults and Logis with their bonuses then you'd see bonuses like "+5% to efficacy of Profile Dampeners per level" or "+5% to efficacy of Cardiac Regulators per level". See how boring these bonuses are? They force you to use a specific module to make any use of the bonus.
Luckily, Scouts don't have those bonuses because apparently them and Heavies get preferential treatment when it comes to customization. Assaults and Logis on the other hand are forced to forego customization to make use of already meager bonuses to a SINGLE class of weaponry or equipment. It really ruins the point of the game by having these crap bonuses.
The point is to give each suit a specific role to fill. Whether or not their bonuses apply to specific pieces of gear, each suit is still designed to really only excel in one niche area. The Sentinel bonuses allow them to tank large amounts of damage, either for just armor or shields, or split between the two. Either way, it's still only really giving them that one advantage: being able to tank a bunch of shots. The fact that it isn't tied to a certain module doesn't change the fact that it's only allowing Sentinels that one advantage. The Scout bonuses give each suit a unique playstyle associated with it. The Caldari Scout doesn't get a bonus to Precision Enhancers, but it's clearly designed to be the ultimate Scanner Scout.
Also, I definitely wouldn't say that getting a bonus to a certain item really "forces Assaults and Logis to forego customization.
Not just a laymen, but the laymen.

Could we see what all the suits look like? Design, color scheme etc?
It'd help us identify which suits we're up against on the battlefield

Can't you already do that using the viewer in the marketplace?

I think that CCP has began forgetting that Dust 514 revolves around EVE.
By this i simply mean, all these stats dont really quite seem to match up to their severity as it does in EVE.
The differences in the effeciencies, base stats, bonuses, just all seem to be not like EVE where they are all SOOO different where no fit is ever the same in effectivness or its use
