One has to remember though that mages of A-rank are already rare, and their rarity only goes up as the rank goes. The cyborgs were all at least AA-rank. Yes, they were overly specialized, but they have one detail we keep overlooking:

They were created.

With A-rank and above being incredibly rare, being able to create forces of AA-rank and higher, even if overly specialized, is an incredibly huge advantage.
