Again, you're appealing to your own definition of "fair," without addressing the core issue here which is that we disagree as to what that word means.

You think Kobe would be ok playing against the Pacers with a team of 2nd graders?

In "any real team sport" all team members are capable of performing a function on the team. This is not always the case in FRC.
This is a fundamental issue with the alliance system, and I'm pretty sure FRC are aware of it and think it's a worthy tradeoff for the benefit of having teams cooperate.

I see no reason to compromise game design to ensure that seeding more perfectly reflects the best teams at a regional. As Lil' Lavery mentioned a few posts earlier, I'm not even convinced the problem is that much worse this year than in previous years.
