Well I guess if it was as tough as one might expect, team RWBY would be nothing but blood stains on concrete right now. Granted they could have come up with a method to kill it (if, say, they could acquire large amounts of fuel) but I guess it was to make sense from a practical perspective for the creators.

They could perhaps have introduced a somewhat less formidable machine to allow it to make more sense but then that would kinda reduce the fear factor of it.

Of course the prototype and untrained pilot arguments are perfectly valid (it was introduced in Vale as a concept) from an diegetic perspective and it probably needs improvement (ignoring the inherent flaws of such a weapon). Suspension of disbelief is important here ladies and gentlemen.
