Grinding doesn't prove anything except that you have a large amount of free time to invest into a repeated activity.
Having MK XII gear doesn't even prove that you've been grinding the missions! How many of us have been running these non-stop with no tech in sight to have someone new to elites grab a prototech in their first week?
It proves absolutely nothing, except that the RNG rolled one way or another.
If attaining this gear was achievable through special objectives or was in any way indicative of skill you might be onto something.

Will they actually build to fill those roles?
Outside of some people I tend to group with regularly, getting any kind of support from either of those two ship classes or finding a Cruiser Capt that actually took threat control is exceedingly rare.
