There would be drawbacks, like servicing the fighters, and targeting them directly while they're still attached. I guess it does balance out. Just odd in my mind.

Rack carriers are a feature, not a bug.

In some contexts they can be a useful alternative to internal-carry carriers. They give up a lot of the functionality, but they are much cheaper per ton of battlerider delivered, and of course can do a rapid rack launch.
