It's a thematic thing. The rebels are undergunned and outmanned, beside the core of their fleet (the x-wings, y-wings, a-wings, b-wings, etc) the ships they use are repuroses, stolen, or secondhand.

We see this in the ARC-170, old clone war era starfighters that aren't even produced anymore. Each of it's pilots are unique meaning even in a epic game the max you could field is 4. Why would the cash-strapped rebellion spend money refitting a entire squadron of ARC-170s when it could produce a few newer x-wings.

With the captured Tie Fighter we see the same thing, no generic pilots for the rebellion. Ties are fragile, cheap, and not nearly as high quality as a x-wing. The rebelliion can't spend the manpower to go out and capture a entire squadron of them and with the only reason to even use a tie fighter (for stealth and sabotage) the rebellion would only need one or two.

With the Scurrg we see a bleeding edge bomber, bristling with weapons and produced in very limited quanities and never mass produced because no one bought it for their fleet. The Havoc is the prototype, stolen by Nym and presumably upgraded into the galactic civil war, the generics are most likely reproductions used by Nym's pirates (espeically since Nym's crew is called the Lok Revenants and their home is the Karthakk system).

Nym is sympathetic to the rebellion but he's still a pirate and he has to play both sides to avoid bringing the hammer down on his own people. He's willing to work with the rebellion to make a strike against the Empire but he can't risk invovling his whole crew or the Empire might get wise and attack his home and even a pirate crew full of scurrg bombers would get overwhelmed by the Empire eventually so that is why there aren't any generic Scurrgs or any other named pilots for the rebellion.
