I believe you're thinking of caldari dropships, and this applies to all rifles not just laser rifles.

Mobility has to have a tradeoff somewhere.

The long and the short of it is, if you don't have the actual skill to fly a python, don't fly a python.
Incubus is far more user friendly and able to take hits. If you have a gunner, the Grimmy is amazing.
But you can't expect a dropship like the python to get more DPS against infantry targets and have greater mobility without also being more vulnerable in return. That would be madness.
Personally I'd say the python balance is fine as is. It just costs too damn much for the likelihood of it being shot down. Vehicles in general cost too much.

I have taken out Pythons with a Flux and a few rounds of a Rail Rifle.. Clearly balanced  When you consider the lack of regen delay and impact OHK on Armour dropships  Does your back hurt ? having your head that far up there can't be doing it any favours.
Pre-teen insults will get you nowhere. Fact of the matter is ADS can be used as a second skin for slayers. After they get shot down, the pilot can simply hop out and continue his rampage. And prior to being shot down, they can do an incredible amount of damage to a team with virtually zero support.
Before you start puffing your chest at being able to throw a flux at a shield based dropship, perhaps you should be considering why they were stupid enough to fly that low in the first place and if they shouldn't be punished for such reckless behavior? If they were within throw range, maybe they deserve to be shot down.
Are they shot down too easily? Yes, but only if ISK is the balancing factor. Otherwise they are perfect.
