Logical from which standpoint?
Realistic - No competent military would intentionally limit the combat capabilities of their unit, as it's within their best interest that all units survive. Medics have access to the same weapons as any other soldier would, barring highly specialized ones (ie, you most likely won't see a medic holding an AV weapon).
Gameplay - Lets look at their weaknesses (compared to Assaults)
- Low HP
- Low Speed
- Low Stamina
- No Sidearm Slot*
- Smaller Engagement Window
Looking at this list, they're already gimped in several areas when it comes to combat and confrontations. They don't need any more weaknesses than what they currently have, as the current ones are sufficient in limiting their combat efficiency.

No. Logis are already limited enough, we still need to defend ourselves. So do Scouts...
Scouts don't need a focus around defense, as they're eWAR and stealth abilities prevent them from being in a situation where they would need to have a prolonged firefight.

The role of a logi is to support troops, not kill the enemy
The role of Logistics is to support allied units. This can be accomplished in a multitude of ways, from repairing soldiers, supplying ammunition, providing cover fire, reviving fallen allies, and providing intel.
Though with that logic, we need to remove the equipment slots from all other Dropsuits, as they're designed for slaying, and as such they shouldn't be able to support units under any circumstances.

Tripods are typically used to mount long-range weapons, such as a Sniper Rifle. Given how medics are typically on the front lines or right behind it, they wouldn't be using a Tripod (hence what I said earlier about highly specialized weapons).
All soldiers are expected to be able to carry a rifle and other gear at the same time, but the Logistics "lightens the load" by not carrying a sidearm, therefore making your analogy irrelevant.
