There's a lot list of things you can put in the low-slots when you run Shield Tanking. Your argument is more for 'I want to use more of my utility slots for utility' than 'I want to stack nothing but shield regulators in my lows' because we all know that that's not what is going to happen, not with the extreme amount of fitting costs it would require - even on high end suits. I can see your point clearly, I just don't think it's as much of an issue as people are making it out to be. My opinion wouldn't change even if half of the modules listed above were somehow switched over to high-slots.
That being said, what about Armor Tanking? Shield tankers can fit CPU/PG upgrades in their lows if they need it - but I can't. Do I get a free CPU/PG boost to accommodate my tanking style?
Do you have modules that cost 90cpu to fit?

Do you have modules that cost 90cpu to fit? Simple answer? Reduce fitting costs. Not institute native armour reps.
You're treating the symptom, not the problem - wait, nope, you're not even doing that True. This game is not designed to have potentially unbreakable tanks like eve is, the speed at which armor users get shield back without modules sets a very bad double standard. Imagine having the 5+ minute long shield repair rate that old gunnlogi's had with passive repair increasing module on every armor dropsuit that wasn't fit with 'proper' shield modules and you might come close to understanding what it feels like to be a current shield tanker under the 'Slot Tax'.
Native armor repair is not a bad thing.
