I do see a possibility, though, of a high performance team choosing a good goalie robot -- that ideally can also score in the low or high goal and can do controlled assists -- as an alliance pick.

I beg to differ. See Super Bowl XLVIII.
Defense is unappreciated because it's value is not directly apparent in the score.
Preventing or delaying a cycle is the same as scoring.
