Replace CUP with zBarriss and taking out ST might not make as big a difference as you think. [I cannot be sure of this, of course, since I can't test it yet, but the point is that CUP adds nothing and therefore there's a lot of room for improvement on the Padmé squad as well. Just making that one change to the SLKR squad, then, shouldn't be considered automagically sufficient.
Of course, your main comment seems to be here:
and while I don't think that swapping out ST guarantees victory for SLKR (again, not having tested it), I do think that this attitude is prevalent amongst a lot of top players. And, yes. I agree with you that it's a terrible attitude.
That said, I sympathize with part of that attitude as well. Not the idea that I should always win if I pay money, but with the part that there's a lot going on in the game, and I don't want every battle to be difficult. There's a huge amount of work we put in over time to farm and gear toons. I like knowing that a particular counter works, and then building that counter from scratch, and then feeling confident whenever I send that counter into battle.
There was a while when Nego battles were frustratingly susceptible to RNG for me. Eventually I maxed out Kenobi (he had been r6) and boosted a couple bit players, and swapped out one reinforcement for Cassian to dispel all taunts and then call a killer assist right away while key enemy ships were vulnerable. Now I'm back to never losing and that's nice. I like the confidence.
So I understand the appeal of going into a match with confidence. But I dislike that people think themselves entitled to buy it with cash and I think that if you don't have that confidence then, in the vast majority of cases, you should not be complaining on the forum about it. I'd have to check, but I don't think I ever once complained here that Nego battles were too hard.
When SLKR players are soloing HSTR and then complaining that they only win every arena battle on offense, but can still be beat on defense, well, look upon the field where I grow my Freuds, and see that it is barren.

But as I've talked to a SLK owner, he doesn't want to have to think, he paid money, he just wants to win by virtue of him paying money for a character.
