Naive conclusion.
It's more about reputation issues: why preferring Xeno ID over LH/LR/OC/FL/P ? Lacks flexibility, if in short. In addition, no worthy exclusive tech to go for as well.
It's not a red-is-dead ID either to cover up the costs.
The main reason I joined the XA is for the exact reasons you have described. I have always enjoyed being an underequipped and outgunned underdog, it makes those rare victories all the much sweeter. It doesn't matter how big the enemy's pixels are, it's how you use your pixels that counts.
In terms of being able to attack targets, the XA ID offers the most flexibility of them all, where even transports were not safe from being treated as combat targets, though I think the lack of gunships put alot of PvP orientated people off. However I'm pretty sure if any of us had been able to fly a roll of duct tape, we would have.
