Ballistic equipped heavier mechs can boat them, but it's a waste of hardpoints,

My point is that plenty of heavier mechs have the hardpoints to waste. For example, f MG's had a DPS roughly that of small lasers, I'd definitely drop a pair in my CPLT-K2 (4xLL) and CTF-4X (2xGauss). Many a brawl would have gone my way and many a harassing light would've perished if I'd had just that little extra boost.

It's like saying puting 1 or 2 additional small lasers would turn the tide. I don't think so, and even more, I don't see why it's a bad thing.
And 2 is hardly "boating"...

And it was the main idea in the TT, by the way. A lot of mechs have 1 or 2 machineguns to add some light damages when combats get close and personal (and give effective support against infantry and vehicules).
