Bear in mind, the production cycle is generally a year and a half, so they would have concocted the Quadjumper back when the high agility Imperial Aces were dominant.

That said, yeah, the dominance of the large base ships relegates the Quadjumper for a bit. Which kinda sucks as someone who really prefers the small base ships in this game.
