What's weird to me is not that the SAM nodes are on the Arks and not the Nexus but the fact that the Pathfinder ships are not on the Arks.
As for the Krogan, I guess they didn't have an Ark and I guess they recognised Krogan as useful but didn't want to bring too many either as they were considered rather dangerous.
In the end though, the whole concept of a Pathfinder is a bit weird. The Dutch translation would be Padvinder, which is the word we use for a boy scout (or girl scout, it's gender neutral). Maybe the Pathfinder should've been called SAM husks, but that might not sit well with some people.
If each pathfinder/SAM is a different race, then obviously Nexus' Pathfinder/SAM is a Krogan. Might explain why "someone" might keep their existence hidden
Not sure if it's that obvious though... Clearly they wanted to limit the power of the Krogan. Giving them a Pathfinder would've been a bad idea from the Initiative's point of view in that sense.
Maybe from the Benefactor's point of view. Based on the book and game Jien seemed pretty ok with them, and I assume Alec, who seems to be the Initiative's other up front power player, would probably be good with them too, especially considering how similar they are to him.
I think it would be a really interesting thing later on in DLC or MEA2 where we do find out about a SAM core and Krogan pathfinder and we have some side missions to find them/recover the SAM node/find a replacement, and possibly wind up deciding who the future pathfinder is and whether the node goes back to the Nexus or to New Tuchanka
Personally, I suspect that the Benefactor has at least one SAM, possibly from the Nexus

That would be an interesting twist. Not sure about the Krogan thing but it would make sense if the Benefactor was a Pathfinder with SAM and everything.
Yeah, i'm not sure either if Krogan would be fit as pathfinder. After all they destroyed Tuchanka themselves... 🙂
Krogan are more into killing (eachother) lol, fight, merc jobs rather than development or sightseeing around...
Just like Peebee said: "Tension among Krogan???? You don't saaay!"
Or like Mordin: "Krogan history Filled with defining moments..... most of them bloody. Hope this one better." 🤓
Yet, it could be an interesting twist, could open their mind to a better future ...maybe if they could somehow find out the genophage was cured?
>edit<
Shepard: -"i'd say curing the genophage would be worth 1 planet"
Wrex: -"Or 10. You haven't seen how fast we can pop them out"

I don't think enough Krogan came with the Nexus to qualify for a full Pathfinder. And Drack personally hates the idea of a Pathfinder having that much control/input on the meat body, so he'd probably try to stop it.
The clan is only a couple of hundred people, so the colony is pretty dang small. The humans havel 20,000+ (20k + Nexus Humans).
Huh, I wonder how they convinced the Quarian Ark's pathfinder to implant a SAM node? That would be one seriously odd bird to be that different from his race's stance, I think.

Given the one race, one pathfinder balance of power the Krogan are the default option for Nexus pathfinders, especially since the pathfinders are assigned to the vessel transporting the bulk of their race, which, for the Krogans, is the Nexus. The Krogan's personal force modifiers and potential reproductive rates balance out their smaller numbers, and also I doubt anyone would be willing to go inform them that they don't qualify for a pathfinder.
As for the Quarians, does Admiral Xen have any kids?
