They are when there are no better alternatives.

Or when you slap a cap8 on a battletransport.
Seriously roll around in a cap8 Bison one day. Pirates will goddamn hate you.

Hell, my usual Salvager loadout usually involves gunboat carbs and battle razors with a CAU 8. Had a run in with a coalition cruiser along with an LN bomber and 2 Junker SHFs on the old uk server, the cruiser left with some major bruising to the captain’s ego.

Or a CAU8 on a Freighter. or a CAU8 on anything that can carry it.

I'll take two on a Pelican, please! Replace those gun slots with Medi-Guns.
I'm not sure about allowing a bomber torpedo on a transport, but I can see them being allowed to forsake a CD in exchange for mounting a fighter missile. I think it would be just a bit insane to see a Pelican rolling around with a Scorcher or, heck, even a SNAC. Something that tanky with a long range torpedo on a turret steerable package? My Pelican-fanatical-self is screaming "YES PLEASE" but the rational side of me is laughing and saying "Yeah, let's not break the game, shall we?"
Also take into consideration that the Kujira, having no guns, has a CD slot. This would turn a defenseless transport (Which it is intended to be) into something with a bit of a nasty bite to it. Fun fact, though - Currently, you could technically mount a NEMP on a Kujira, and who the heck would be expecting that?
I miss being able to mount missiles on a Pelican, though.

Three words:
Dual. Scorcher. Bombs.
200k DPS will tear apart your Bison considering 965k hull is nothing for them Scorcher Bombs.
