Because when they made the changes back in season 1 in regards to aux and sci skills that is when PH stop working 100% against tractor beams and cryptic never updated the description.
I am reasonably sure that Polarize Hull - at least now again - provides 100 % protection from all tractor beams.
With Scramble Sensors I seem to have seen an effect where I had no one selected, but when I used a power, another target within my sights got it. So the best "counter" to it is still trying to have no one within view (a little difficult in the middle of a pet swarm).
STeam does not clear Scramble sensors for me. (ST1 against SS2-3) but it prevents it if I use it prior to being scrabled.
Agreed... If I am hit with SS, I am unable to use any heal that can target another player. This includes when I am careful not to target any players at all. If I am not targeting any player at all, and I hit any ability that can heal another player, it will automatically select an enemy target and heal them instead. Meaning half my heals are useless while under SS.
I am not sure if this is intended or a bug, but this is how it has been working for me. I have tested this several times while in combat, and have learned just to avoid certain heals (even if I really need them) while under SS.

Indeed.I use PH1 and for the 15 secs its active i m immune to tractor beams ,regardless of wether those are versions 1 ,2 or from multiple ships.
