And please consider how it is now, not how it was when it was released.
Other question: if it was thought as a scout tool, why does it affect so negatively EW?
Cloaks are broke. This module doesn't give you invisibility, everyone can see your shimmering profile - distance really doesn't matter, 'you never know what is out there..' is BS spread by YTuber who wanted to promote his channel to larger audience, and run away as soon as he became CPM member .
Scout may try to be invisible , but it's not really that efficient. They need to focus on fitting only ewar modules(at least 2x c.damp), and biotics leaving fit with basic hp, with is something like 250~, and that is really big price for something that works only when players do not look around - as soon they realize that there have to be Scout somewhere near them, they will not let him to attack with advantage of territory. So they will avoid walking in to the buildings or other places where Scount could wait for them behind corners on his NK/SG optimal range, or where he could place RE. Instead alarmed target will stay on open, away from obstacles(that could work in advantage of Scout), and then check every corner with his 'everything-detecting' aim-cross that change color when it find something very-invisible(tech taken directly from Harry Potter - best S-F of all times ). Cloaker can not defend himself right away after being detected, he is like a duck - he can not fire back because cloak have deleys that unable him to use wapon. But why biotics you would ask, well without them you are not able to flank someone.
Cloaked players can not check how many HP they victim have while being cloaked, so they never know if it's stacked hp target or some militia.
Everything is worst for cloakers after last e-war re-balance, for example fitting precision scanners on Scout suit is pointless now. Assaults can have lower signature than what Scout detects with 2x or even 3x more HP. The new Assaults are the better version of Scouts.
Summing up:
1. I don't main allowing all classes to use Cloaks - more easy kills for everyone. Cloaks took long way to point were it is now, and it is totally useless ****, relieving it from Scouts would just make them a favor.
2. Responding to your second question, some time ago I was fight on forum for rewarding Scouts with WP for passive detection of redberry - it was before Range Amplifer was nerfed, and e-war re-balance. Fully stacked Scouts with Amplifers Precisions could passivlly scan players with radius of 90 meters while being cloaked for they squad and get no reward for that - Mr. IWS took my request backwards and contributed to Cloak nerf completely annihilating solo-scouting.
