Uh, hang on here, you call Shepards tech inferior? You can't prove it's less superior to Samus' tech in any way whatsoever. before you even mention "Oh, well Samus' armor can do ", remember there is a thing known as "escalation", in which when one upgrades, the other upgrades equally. For all we know, Shepard's armor could have disrupting countermeasures, or armor plating tough enough to survive a modern tank-shell, but the other side also upgrades, and so they will then have more advanced countermeasures and more penetrating rounds. Shepard could have a couple million things in his suit, but everyone else uses superior defenses to it, so he does not use them in-game, and the same for Samus.

Think of it as the war between anti-virus companies and virus makers, a new anti-virus is made, some virus makers make a virus to beat the anti-virus. No side has evidence of being better, only that they have good tech compared to modern-day. You can't compare the tech, so don't try.
