If you added a Comms Specialist to Luke, THAT DUDE IS ANOTHER ENTIRE LUKE but with a Comms upgrade slot. Granted, a Counterpart upgrade could have the effect that he wants, but it would take a bit more work than just slapping together the stuff we have like he seems to be assuming would work.
Now to be fair, I think the intention is just to add Comm specialists to generic officers, but your point still stands. The extra bodies would have just as many wounds as the initial model, so generic officers would have to change greatly. Plus, a unit consisting solely of model specific special rules would be hard to balance, since after a wound or two an entire upgrade is gone.
