Soldiers would avoid any use of vehicles they don't own, for obvious reasons. I'm not saying it has never been done, it's just way too dangerous to "trust" an enemy vehicle.

And, making a vehicle usable for both parties results in them showing up on the map, for both parties. And that is something nobody wants .

And as said, using only the MG on a vehicle isn't possible.

I don't see how it isn't, it's basicly the opposite for Civis, atleast back on 75. A civi could get in any seat of a vehicle EXCEPT the gunner positions, why couldn't you just reverse that so every kit could get in the MG, but not the rest of the seats?

While I don't see how it's impossible due to engine limitations, I do trust you on the whole it showing up to both factions, and that alone means this idea could never be implemented.

In .75, civis would die entering the gunner seats on a technical. As it happens, the driver's seat is the first seat you get into when entering a vehicle.

If you applied that same code to enemy driver positions, we'd have dead bodies in the driver's seat.

Yeah, if they made it instant, which would be retarded beyond words. If they did it the way it is now for other vehicles, like when trying to drive a tank without a crewman kit, you have a couple seconds to get out or get in the right position. So only the dumbest of the dumb would actually die in the drivers seat lol.
