Inaccurate. The majority of Republic military from the Clone Wars were regional armies, rag tag local sector fleets and armies. Most film focuses solely on the highlights and the more pivotal battles of the clone and droid armies, but for the grand deal it was a far more limited force. The Empire replaced all regional forces with the Imperial Army and then their elite Stormtrooper Corps on top of that as the galactic force. It expanded from a scale of tens of billions to tens of trillions. In many aspects such as total training for all roles, troop armor, individual purpose armaments for troops, hover tanks, capital ships, later fighter designs, all vastly outstripped the Republic's

@@kaimagnus5760 The TIE Fighter was fit for purpose: screening in conventional warfare and policing sectors. It had the firepower, agility, and pilot to be a successful deployment for its prime focus and was more than enough prior to the Rebellion adopting its hit and run hyperspace capable fighter tactics. When the TIE became insufficient as a result, they switched to the Interceptor which while lacking shields was one of the best fighters produced at scale, having incredible speed and firepower enough to offset its flaws, take full advantage of its fighter pilot training program, and do the prime goal: hunt and occupy fighters away from the capital ships.

What’s crazy is speeder bikes could fly in the skies of coruscant as well as just hover on the ground I tend to forget that because most of the shows especially in the animated clone wars series they are mostly shown in combat roles. Imperial scout troopers have a pretty terrible bike and they get killed because of that but they honestly deserve it scout troopers are arrogant af especially to the regular storm troopers even though they are part of the storm trooper core I believe I saw a video about them scout troopers actually were doing drag racing when the rest of the Barricks were asleep which pissed everyone off.

I understand that this is just a result of out of universe art of at times lack of. However with how many civilian versions of speeder bikes are similar to the74-z during the time of the Empire, it's possible to the Empire wanted a a speeder bike that many people were familiar with. It's not often considered but if public spending dropped then the number of qualified technicians would have dropped to. Using a familiar type of engine might have let the more average man maintain the74-z properly.

I believe you are missing the main point. These speeders are ideal in a reconaissance and dispatch role but no amount of armour or firepower will make these things viable for actual combat. The pilot will always be exposed. Like the Wehrmacht abandoned it's attempts of making battle sidecar motorcycle mounted infantry and replaced them with Panzergrenadiers (motorcycles were still around, just in different roles) it would make sense for the empire to down arm their bikes, as to not provoke their speeder pilots to do more than their actual task of taking a look, relaying intel and a short firefight to break contact at most
