That's a lot fewer orders than moving a second unit around. They probably won't change that, TAGs get pushed in to OP territory very easily. Giving every one an Operator like the Anaconda or Gorgos gets would probably go too far, those TAGs are gimped elsewhere to make up for how strong that is while Pilots were added for free. Pilots are also useful for revenge killing enemies that put your TAG unconscious. They aren't supposed to be used a ton it's not Titanfall.
I mean, having the pilot that I spent an order dismounting, who doesn't provide an order, and still counts as dead for victory points, stick around after the tag gets blown up isn't that crazy. :P
I have deathitus, a disease always fatal within 700 years. So I guess I'm used to ignoring things that are slightly upsetting but meaningless.
It’s a good price for the orders you saved on approach. Manned also brought notable difference with ejection systems TAGs, as their pilots are somehow better, but mostly not specialists.
