Stalkers already have it way to easy in many missions. They can survive having to clear a path to the door for the kidnap victim like everybody else.

Yeah, except that it takes everybody else half as long to do it. Having to clear the path for a hostage with a Stalker is an agony that should be avoided at all costs.
Plus, of course, the ambush squads who you can't possibly clear in advance. Most missions I find it makes more sense to just bum-rush through the enemies un-hidden and just hope that the hostage keeps up.

Well, its true that rescue/hostage missions are tougher for stalkers than any other AT. However, (and I hope this isn't supposed to be kept a secret) in most other types of missions, namely thefts, destroy glowies, etc, stalkers have it easier to an "unfair" amount that makes up for having rescue missions skewed the other way. Walk in, skip mobs, one shot a boss, get glowie, click out.
