If you're suggesting the developers change the AI code it's not going to happen... more important AI code such as AI opponents sending pretenders to the arena death match or mages wearing heavy plate remain unfixed.
If you're suggesting map makers provide starting AI opponents these type of units they will most likely not survive long enough to meet the SCs. My experience has been placing one AI opponent far away with its own SCs at the start of the game works best for fighting a human with SCs later.

I can't see anyone willing to waste gems on the random chance the AI will equip a useful commander. Even if these are sent to the AI opponents they are placed almost completely randomly on commanders/mages.
My suggestion to Illwinter: Allow the AI code to be made available to the community or beta testers which can examine/test/improve the code for AI opponents. I'm sure Gandalf will be more than happy to help.... banning pretenders from the arena death match should be easy since those units have the pretender flag.
