Because you're talking about 10K+ people, of which a good 8K or so don't care about your precious strategies or tactical strength, and will want working consoles in every base.
Unless you intend to get yourself, and fourty or fifty of your buddies to EXCLUSIVELY take over a base, denying or controlling access to it's facilities and grounds to anyone, whether friend or foe, you will not be able to maintain a base with only partially working consoles, as some 'helpful' soul will go around repairing them when you're not looking.
And when those people not in on your strategy, or those who just want to play to have fun, and don't care (or don't comprehend) such things as denying access to things that can be used against you see you employing your precious 'scorched earth' strategy, they will report you to the Devs as being a griefer who's trying to get around the automated rules, and you stand a chance at being banned for TKing consoles for 'strategic' purposes (because if Verant didn't intend for those consoles to be used, they wouldn't have put them there, and by destroying them, you not only are attempting to alter the balance they have put in place, you're also draining your own team's NTU supplies faster than they should be, both of which could be considered either exploiting, or griefing).
On top of that, if you concentrate all the working consoles in the basement of your base, we can do a surprise strike against your base (after scouting it out with stealthers) and by the time you run downstairs, grab your gear for defense, and run back upstairs, we're already inside your base, repairing and using your consoles against you.
