Droids in Star Wars aren't leaders. They are literally built to be support characters.
Found a well written answer on Reddit about Droid leads and that "droids are only Support for other factions":
"This is a nonsense statement. C-3PO, Chopper, and K2 are designed to work with other factions. Droideka and Magnaguard are designed to work with Separatists moreso than Droids or even specifically Separatist Droids. The 11 other droids in the game all either grant bonuses to other droids, get bonuses from being used with other droids, have Target Lock synergy, or some combination of the above.
And it's not like they recently changed this either; look at T3-M4's kit, which includes 2 zetas that literally only do anything when used with other droids, and basically no Old Republic synergy. Or L3's zeta which also is useless on a Prepared squad and only matters when she gets run with other droids. That refrain around here about how Jedi Training Rey is the best droid leader? Well, the core truth behind that is that JTR synergizes amazingly with BB-8, and BB-8 synergizes amazingly well with other droids.
Droid squads are a thing, they have arguably the oldest faction synergy in the game (back at release, HK, IG-86, IG-88 and Poggle was one of the few teams whose faction-specific benefits were strong enough that it mattered whether you ran them together or not), and to argue that "that's just not what droids are designed for" shows a complete lack of understanding of the faction."
