In A's, the whole cartridge system was a historical curiosity used in a practically-mythological past; by Strikers everyone has a cartridge-fired device, to the point where they issue 'em to rookies.

Those rookies were custom from the get go.
It seems to me that after A's, that the pioneers (and other unique people) in the TSAB tried out the cartridge system and passed those habits on to their family.
As for where they got the systems for A's, they might have been taken from the 'museum'.

Then again, maybe they'll just make a ton of combat cyborgs. Jail, for all his goofiness, has shown that you can develop working combat cyborgs without being hideously inhumane to them - or at least not so inhumane that it effects their loyalty. We don't actually know that relics were used in the production of the Numbers, do we? If not, then you can make a whole bunch of cyborgs if you want to. And if Subaru and Ginga turned out basically okay, well, then they're not all monsters... and if you're going to be an organization that sends little girls out to fight your wars anyway, you might as well be one that sends out SUPER little girls to do it. ;p

It would be a political minefield.
I rate their chances of instituting a breeding program higher then the combat cyborg option.
