Even if the early GAT Gundams were a bit better overall than the Zakus, there's still good logistical reasons for not keeping unique machines in the order of battle, particularly ones that you didn't build yourself - it'd mean that any spare parts would have to be constructed from scratch for just that one machine. It's the kind of expense that's somewhat justifiable in wartime, but it'd be a terrible idea when at peace. And realistically, the early GAT models had were early prototypes, and they had a bunch of flaws that went with that. Any sensible officer would try to phase them out as quickly as possible.

If you read Charred_Knight's posts, you'd realize that he actually
likes Gundam 00 overall; he's just still willing to point out its weak points.
