What's the point in running a Dark (Empire) Team?

Is the devs intention that all the players should run a Light (rebel) team? I fell like the game is punishing me at every point for choosing to play a dark team (by the way I am the only one in my guild and we are only 4 in top 50 in my shard).

Lets see the facts:

1. Meta for at least the last 6 months is rebels (Wiggs then Chaze)

2. Some said that the empire was meta for a few weeks after Wiggs but lets be honest, less than 1 percent of the total players had/have EP and ST and virtually none of the new players, while everyone and their mama has Wiggs.

3. Not only that Wiggs and Chaze are OP, they actually have abilities that target empire toons while the opposite is not true.

4. You must be strong in light to advance the dark side while the opposite is not true (EP event or Military Might Event). You need jedi for Yoda but for EP you need rebels,WTF.
If you have the rebels to win those events why would you need the rewards (excepting the credits of course).

5. There are only 10 empire toons for 18 rebels (2 of them are out of reach and 5 of the rest are dog poo)

6. Iconic Empire characters (Tarkin and especially the Stormtrooper ) are a joke while plenty of unknown rebels are way to powerful. Really is Bistan, Wedge, Biggs what comes to mind when you say Star Wars? At least they buffed Bobba, but this is to little to late.

7.The lack of respect the devs show their players. The forum is flooded with threads complaining about Wiggs and asking for more dark/empire toons and their only reaction was the latest event, another occasion to reward players with rebels teams because they really needed that, and punish the rest that still didn't get the memo.

So please anybody tell me one single decision or move the devs took to provide an incentive/purpose/ reward to players using dark. Or really is their plan that everyone should use a light team? (one that includes Wiggs of course).
