I strongly disagree. If you have one mech suit to go around and you could choose a turian, salarian, asari, human, volus, quarian or geth to use it, than choosing the volus is the most reasonable decision. In all other scenarios a capable fighter is taken out of the fray to pilot the suit, whereas here you "lose" someone incapable of fighting otherwise while all others remain in place. The Warhammer 40K uses the same logic: Space Marines/Chaos Space Marines' Dreadnoughts are piloted by fighters on permanent life support, while Orks' equivalents are almost always piloted by Grots (i.e, Goblins.)
