IMHO They were chosen for just the reasons I have stated, an influx of new p teams will not result in a swarm of wiggs teams like EP did. That coupled with the hope of grabbing fans of "Rebels", and by extension Thrawn fans from the EU. In all fairness I doubt it was CG's choice that added them and a request came from higher up. OP, you're entitled to your opinion. I just completely disagree.
Since they aren't the greatest characters in the game, making them the easiest full faction in the game to farm seems pretty fair to me. They are pretty good from an early player value standpoint. And for long time players we easily geared them to 8 with low level garbage gear we have hundreds/thousands of. If I never use them again it was worth it for Thrawn. And actually having to come up with a farming plan was fun. Haven't had to do that in ages. Not since Yoda. The other two legendary characters just fell into my lap with no effort. It was nice to have a goal again.
