A little specialisation gets you a long ways.
You're presenting efficiency numbers to avoid a structural fact, ie. being a little ignorant. Let's make it very simple.

Argument #1: zikonians and xandathrii have cutters or nightmares in their attack fleets. Terran and eitrades do not. Argument #2: people invest more resources in their attack fleets than in their defence fleets.

Logic follows that zikonians and xandathrii will have more of those anti-corvette frigates and they will be surrounded by more flak (see: dragon, tycoon - chimera, dealer and preferences according to argument #2). Because we argue that they will in a static scenario have higher defences against cathaar corvettes, making them easier to defend against this fleet. Thus, they will be more difficult thus less prefered (so to say nastier than terran or eitrades) targets for cathaar corvettes.
