RTW was balanced and fine tuned around normal battle difficulty and medium unit size.
It wasnt until years later when multiplayer community was playing with newer much more powerful computers at extra large unit size and very hard that the memes with general bodyguard units and poor morale units happened.

Simple fact is they were older, more valuable, and richer. In that position of power, they are not taking the front line ahead of the dregs.
It's as simple then, as it is today.

Patrician taste
It's not like the hastati were poor. They all had to meet substantial property requirements to serve as infantry.
