People are ... not smart.
Cloaks work as intended - they sort-of hide you, if you play smart.
Someone standing perfectly still is visible, if you know to look for them. Someone walking is visible. Someone sprinting is visible.
Meanwhile, people don't look, people are too busy shooting (and getting shot at), and people are too focused on whatever they intend to do next - Are the same reasons I could run around inside a group of enemies, with my scout BEFORE 1.8 was released, and pick them off 1-by-1, same reasons people get RE'd both at installations and in the middle of the field, and same reason you can fly a dropship up next to an enemy nest and kill them all with missiles.
All that said, the idiot bluedot yesterday, who was running around the Domination objective, while it was being hacked by a cloaked scout, not shooting the scout, but getting in the way of my shots ... that is just being useless!

Do you run around the map looking for cloaked scouts standing still? I mean, when an objective is being taken or needs to be taken, are you running aroudn the area looking for claked scouts standing still? Every time you turn a corner, are you looking for them as well?
If the objective is blinking and being hacked, no, I shoot and kill the cloaked scout by spreading bullets.
Do I take an extra look, if the cloaked-scout-effect (yes, there is one for perfectly-still cloakers) shows up, or something similar catches my eye? yes.
Do I just run blindly at the objective and start hacking? Some times, but just as often I stop and look around for REs and scouts - and occasionally I catch a hiding scout and murder him/her.
Do I look carefully every time I turn a corner? No, but if I have reason to suspect there being a cloaker, I'll be careful....
I guess what I'm saying, mr Ydubbs81 RND, is some of us don't run around mad and blind.
