I'm guessing that because Palp as leader would make facing any rebel squad far too easy and the only way they could make it harder would be to hugely ramp up speed or other stats on those toons, something the community has already expressed its distaste for.

Yeah, basically. It's a hard event as-is, and it's tuned for Palpatine as a squaddie. If they had him as the leader it would have to be tuned for his leadership, which would mean making it much harder. I'm not positive, but I also think it was tuned around Palpatine's Unique ability--very fast Rebels taking lots of turns, taking lots of damage at the start of each turn.
Honestly, I'm good with it, as it does allow people who had geared/leveled other Empire toons to try different leaders (Thrawn, Vader, Tarkin, etc.) for the event.

Maybe Thrawn directly acts in battles and Palp only stays in the background of the empire.
I mean did you see Palp fights in any battles while the era of Galactic Empire?
He did not fight against Luke Skywalker - Darth Vader fighted
He did not fight against Ezra Bridger - Imperial Royal Guard acted
He did not fight against Sabine Wren - Minister Hydan did it
He did not fight in Scarif and so on... That's why he is not the leader of a squad.
Instead Thrawn fights against the Phoenix + Spectes in Atollon. And he shot Ezra Bridger's shoulder.
Maybe, but every other mythic event I've done has the unlocked toon as the leader when available.
They probably didn't want to make him forced lead because of the disparity between his leadership ability at lvl 7 and when zetad. You'd honestly need two different events for them as his zeta lead would simply steamroll an event that would be near impossible without the zeta. Odds are they wanted to avoid the complaints of forcing people to zeta palps lead purely for the mythic tier. Thrawn's lead zeta'd or not doesn't change the outcome of that battle very much.
I didn't find the bonus tier easy at all. In fact I didn't clear it. Thrawn lead or Vader lead or Tarkin lead - didn't matter. Rebels were WAY too fast. Like 3 toons dead before I got a turn fast.

That is a terrible theory
He fought Yoda. And that whole Troop of Jedi that came to arrest him. He wasn't Palp yet (kinda?) But he definitely fought.

Then why is thrawn pushed in the leader position for his mythic?
I'm just speculating, there. I forgot he was pushed to the leader.
Yeah I got nothing.

Only attempted it once, got completely destroyed as I normally use thrawn lead (6*), and instead ran with vader and didn't get a turn.

Put a required character in the leader spot: People don't like it.

"Every other"? You mean... Thrawn? R2 and BB8 don't have leader abilities, and Yoda mythic hasn't been released yet.
Personally I dont care as I just use vader or thrawn, but I wonder why this is the case.
