Agreed - it's a conscious decision to get them - but once you have got them then you'll always use them. Previously they were a different class - so they were just an extra target for defenders and in many cases they were sitting ducks. Most attacks in the last few rounds haven't been Fr/De or Cr/BS they've been mainly a single class - and SKs haven't been flakked.
For use in alliance wars, SKs are a legimate weapon. Adding them to the attack fleet of a partner (or partners) is fine - and it hurts the target if they land. For use in everyday roiding attacks, SKs are inappropriate and cause unnecessary (and unavoidable) damage.
I'm sure you remember the old arguments against building PDS - you can't run so if the attack gets through they die. The only way to avoid this (unless you were a top alliance def whore) was not to build any. Unfortunately this solution is impractical in the case of structures.
