The way it has been described it seems to me as though the bail-safely-from-any-altitude is a utility-slot.

Other things that fit in utility slot would be radar & flares. So if you have to choose between flares or bailing, that's going to be a tough call. Someone using aircraft primarily for transportation woudn't have much issue, but someone wishing to bail safely and be effective at air-to-air will be at a disadvantage.

Seems like a good compromise to me, allowing you to turn aircraft into a hotdrop-delivery system or a dogfighter, but if you want to do both you will be at a disadvantage vs a pure-dogfight spec'd aircraft.
Nice post, I'm sure that said somwhere that the
Hover on a air Vehicle will need a cert too
