The same reason they don't restrict logis to filling all the equipment slot.
The same reason Heavies can carry light weapons.
The same reason any suit, with 2 weapon slots, can have 2 sidearms at the same time.
The same reason snipers can be tanked out heavies.
The same reason scouts can tank out their suits if they want.
It really bugs me that this game is advertised as a flexible FPS where they don't restrict what a player is allowed to do. Literally there is a video where CCP actually encouraged the use of heavies for sniping. And it's bad players that whine and moan, "Why can heavies use light weapons that's so OP!!!! WAAAAHH!!!! CCP PLZ NURF," it's ridiculous. If you didn't know what you were getting into when you started investing your time/money into this game then you should definitely move to another game(like COD or Battlefield where literally every character is the same).
Or if you want immersive gameplay that allows you to customize your character in any way you want, within reason, then stay and have fun knowing that you're not only better because you're a nerd with good gun game, but you're better because you're a nerd that's smart enough to find the best way to customize your character for your play, even if what you do is complete broken and OP.
In other words, it'll always be better to have an OP FOTM, than to force players to limit their playstyle by creating suit requirement/restrictions.

CCP nerfed Sentinels to make Light Weapons a bad choice. Logis bonuses are tied to equipment and can't be considered slayers. The only thing I can agree with is Frames with two weapons options being able to double up on sidearms. The open sandbox fitting philosophy is dead. Whether that is good or bad is up to opinion. The important question is do Scouts deserve more leeway than everybody else?
This is how you balance rather than saying "oh sorry you're a heavy you can't use a light weapon that would be OP," CCP says "oh you want to tank your scout/put a light weapon on you're heavy, that's fine, it's not gonna be easy though, but if that's what you want..."

In other words, it'll always be better to have an OP FOTM, than to force players to limit their playstyle by creating suit requirement/restrictions. Problem is your own logic proves the contrary arguement: By creating conditions where the only effective fit is an OPFOTM, the vast population majority will only use said OPFOTM, thereby homogenizing the fits that get use in game and turning flexible, customizable DUST into "COD or Battlefield where literally every character is the same".
The OP FOTM has never been the ONLY effective fit you could run. This game has always been about personal preference, if you want to chase the FOTM and waste your SP on something that will eventually be rebalanced/nerfed go ahead. Beyond open beta there was never a time where EVERYONE used the same suit.
Even when scouts were completely awful, people still ran scouts. Even when assault were no match for tanked out scout you could find a dedicated assault player in the few and far reaches of this game.
As I said "It's better to have an OP FOTM, than to force players to limit their playstyle by creating suit requirements/restrictions."

That is exactly why they are making legion all weapons will be locked to their own suits. EX. scouts- shotguns nova knives cloak' Heavies- HMG FG , MED- other weapons.
That is exactly why their proposal for legion is absolute garbage. Freedom, flexibility and creative fits are what make New Eden so amazing.
It's looking a lot like EVE LEGION:Bad Company 3 uuhh the thought of it just makes my skin crawl...
