So why not simply limit it to the scout suit? Why even make a pretence of allowing it on other suits?

Just make a cloak slot like heavies have a heavy weapon slot. That would prevent scouts from being as good as basic Logis by carrying two pieces of regular equipment at the same time.

Because that's not how things work in New Eden. CCP wants players to come up with creative fits, but have certain suits excel in the roles they're bonused for. Hard restrictions limit creativity and is more akin to something like Planetside 2 with cookie-cutter classes.

Then why give it a 330 CPU 70 PG cost, exempt it from the Logi equipment fitting bonus, and give Scouts a 75% fitting bonus?

Sure, you can fit it on a proto Logi suit if you equip a Flaylock in your light weapon slot and leave every other slot empty, but that isn't "creative", it's "stupid" when you would be far better off buying a Scout suit instead.

Use the basic? Oh and use up half your CPU and half your PG for 30 seconds of invisibility. Do that and you have enough fitting left to fill one equipment slot if you don't want to run naked. Again, the Scout suit will perform much better and be much less expensive as well.

That's not leaving any room for creativity.

I really hope they didn't hardcode a rule, since that would be a very "unfortunate"* way of doing it. Given the overall design used around and in CATMA, a negation-rule using CATMA attributes shouldn't be all that difficult, and I suspect that the related attributes are simply not whitelisted yet. Note: Part of the Laser-buff is in the SDE, but other bits (like optimal range) are simply stored closer to the Unreal Dev Kit and not in CATMA. : trying to be nice...

They want to survive as long as possible to support. At least that's what I think should be happening. It's not in their interest to look for enemies and slay in the first place as many logis do, not the first thing you should do in match as a logi. it is looking for looking for empty "spaces", where there are repairs needed, you repair, where there is ammo needed you put down ammo and so on. Logis should be somewhat hidden behind. I ve had matches without a thought of picking gun and shooting enemies, at the end of the match it almost seemed I wasn't part of the fight but knew when I looked at the score, few deaths zero kills and a lot of wp.

I'm not a fitting guru, and non-scout cloaked suits will be much weaker than ones without cloaks for sure. That's not to say there couldn't be some niche roles that a cloak would be useful in on a logi, assault or commando. I could possibly picture some AV cloaked fits being a possibility if swarms and plasma cannons ever get fixed for example. Best PvE idea ever!
