Ok so the issue with this one is Instantaneous Usable SP. Think about it for a minute, take Commando. If that Commando maxes out his Suit, His modules, his core skills, his 2 weapons, and his equipment, he's going to arrive at a point where spending more SP will not gain him an additional advantage on the battlefield in a given moment because the only thing he has left to train is another suit, weapon, ect. At that point SP buys him flexibility but he he cannot use that flexibility in a given moment, it only allows him to change his suit/weapon, lose the benefit of of it, and gain something else. This is an effective SP cap for that class and is sort of an invisible limiter to prevent people from becoming too strong as their SP pool increases.
What you're suggesting effectively circumvents this limitation, by allowing you to maintain the SP benefit even when you switch classes. This would effectively mean that anyone who trains Amarr (or Caldari) logi would effectively be able to use significantly more SP than any other class, because the SP benefit would be maintained even after moving out of the class. This is essentially the same as saying "I was in a Commando suit but I switched to a Scout, so I should get to keep my 10% damage buff from the Commando while on my Scout". Do you see how this is unfair and problematic?

Active or not, it still offers benefit even after switching out of the suit, even if that benefit is not direct. I mean it would be completely pointless to ever run an Amarr Logi actively then because you could just drop your uplinks, keep the benefit, and switch to another suit to gain additional benefit. This would effectively make Amarr and Caldari Logis obsolete as there is zero incentive to stay in that suit once you deploy your equipment.
But I'm not here to bicker, just wanted to add my thoughts, so we'll agree to disagree.

Sure but theres no reason to STAY an Amarr Logi. I'd just drop my uplinks as an Amarr Logi then switch to my Minmatar Logi to get the Repair Tool Bonus. So then I'd have a buffed repair tool as well as buffed uplinks.
