Hi OP,
First and foremost, thank you for this highly entertaining thread. You've done well in defending your opinions, but I'd like to remind you of the state of today's Scout. Underpowered is an understatement. Any Scout would perform his chosen role more effectively by skilling into a low-level Medium frame. No doubt Heavies aren't the demi-gods we see in the Uprising Assault/Logi builds, but I think you'd agree that Scouts are worse off than Heavies at the moment.
That said, many would commend the clever Scout at hand for 1) remaining Scout despite obvious disadvantage and 2) successfully employing a method by which to overcome his handicap. I've observed very few classes other than the Scout using REs as a tool in combat. Do you truly wish render less effective one of the limited tools available to this underpowered class?
Sincerely,

Unfortunately I think it's horse$ hit, considering my scout an every weapon I have is above pro 3, an they all suck now, except maybe my knives ( I ve learned more efficient ways to use them).
But who knows maybe everything will work in the 5.6 update in 2020
A prototype ally and I got RE bombed by Scout Brother Alistair McFlair earlier today. I absolutely love the fact this a relatively low-level Scout outsmarted and simultaneously dropped two guys in proto gear. Brains over brawn. I'll have a hard time getting around safely without my trusty Scanner, but I'm gonna have to give these REs a try. I can see them coming in handy when the Heavy rotation speed buff hits in 1.4.

Update:
Ran a handful of matches in a speed suit with REs. IMHO, active scanners are much more useful to a Scout. Nanohives+Nades are another more combat-viable equipment alternative. An RE kill is the ultimate "neh neh" but they certainly are not easy to come by.
Note to OP:
It's pretty dang difficult to come out ahead running around in a Light Frame with REs. It takes substantially more skill to sneak up behind someone and place/arm/time/detonate a Remote Explosive than, say for example, OHK'ing infantry with a Forge Gun. I've lost faith in your arguments, though I admire your ability to keep a cool head while defending your perspective.
