If you read more than the rulebooks you would see that custom mechs are rarer than a modern fighter ace in a Pornstar convention. I can name a handful of custom mechs in the Battletech world.
Kai Allard-Liao's Yen Lo Wang
Takisha Kurita's Dragon which is actually a Grand Dragon and thus not custom.
Custom mechs were STUPID expensive and not common, here they are in every match, and are mostly 95% of the mechs in those matches.
The reason why 3025 didnt have those things is because... well wait for it......

IT WAS IN 3025!!!!!!
That progression system in game was good, but even when you unlocked heavies and assaults not everyone piloted them. But the weight limited drops and the mission selection types made playing the biggest heaviest thing impractical. I know I piloted a Blackjack all of the time, even when I could pilot and afford a Atlas. I knew people who only piloted Locusts and Javelins. But again there were missions not just drops that are nothing more than slug matches, even the new conquest is a joke.
This.....3025 was a superior game in nearly every way that matters(not graphics).
