Because it is an inconsistent variable that is based on individual mechs rather than a consistent control parameter
In other words, it's a specific, case-by-case basis thing that can be used with as light or heavy a touch as needed for an individual chassis in order to account for its specific goodness or badness in order to help steer it towards a rough baseline?
YOU'RE TOTEZ RIGHT, THAT WOULD NEVER WORK.
Seriously. Uniform solutions applied to an irregular problem
produce irregular results. A JagerMech and a Thunderbolt both weigh the same, but that doesn't mean they're worth the same in a given match or that the same +10t pro-rating applied to both of them would produce the results you're looking for. You can't just slap a one-size-fits-all solution onto the issue and then expect all the problems to up and vanish.
Let Piranha do its quirk pass,
then we'll see what else might be needed to bring things into line.
