So in your opinion I can go out buy a sophisticated and far better IFR equipt microlight or home built and cloud fly without an IMCR?
I am sure the CAA would agree with you. One rule for some another rule for others. Tell your views to the 737 captain flying IFR / IMC OCAS with 100 odd pax on board.
and no they dont just fly in isolated lumps of cu

I knew I could count on a knee jerk reply, before you had read what I said.
None of the above - You fly using the privileges of your licence according to the rules.
I never suggested the 737s fly only in isolated cu - I said that gliders do. And if a LoCo CAT encountered a mil. fast jet OCAS, then I suggest the 737 would be as culpable as the fast jet.
There are vast tracts of CAS, defined in the days when navigation was much less accurate, to protect CAT. To make greater profits, (or reduce losses) CAT wants to use the rest of the air as well. In the process, increasing rules to protect fare-paying passengers will reduce risk to you, at no cost to you but at a cost to me.
Please explain the economic logic of your argument?
