The cloak is the endgame for a scout, it has to be something to strive for that requires some SP expenditure. Make it too easy and we have to make everything easier.
To be a heavy HMG user for instance, requires unlocking the suits which needs more SP, weaponry V, a high level of Engineering and Electronics to fit it and have enought PG & CPU to fit decent modules.
Why should scouts have access to such a powerful tool without having to investing in the core and support skills to properly fit it?
That said, I'm in favour of a milita version but let's make it so it's CPU and PG needs requires a higher level of core skills to run it.
The current TCM for the skills and how some are more 'difficult' to learn and need more effort from the player is about the only balanced thing in the game. Let's not mess around with it please.

For new players who'd like to try playing with a cloak without having to spend SP they could just add a few AUR scouts that come equipped with a cloak (and have the rest of the modules built into the stats and no or few free slots) -- that's kinda the business model they have anyway. It's not hard to fit on a militia light, it's impossible. Fair enough, impossible. I still don't see the problem (considering how everything in this game works, that is). You don't see a problem with denying new players access to the defining characteristic of one of the game's classes?
No I don't. And I'm known as being the cheerleader for a vastly improved NPE. But once again, the cloaking is something to work for, like the HMG or Forge gun for a heavy. Expecting everything to be availble to you on day one in a free to play game, is not a good idea.
