There is something I’d like to mention not directly related to the idea of the post:
It’s not just skill - veteran players will often (sure not only but…) pick fast ships and use their superior maneuvering skills to win the game. - New players tend to focus on survivability/dmg output .
Rarely you will see a new player on a tackler equipped with Inhibitor Beam and Engine Suppressor.
A good (even not best) tackler focused on slowing enemies “brings balance to the force” I’d say.
*So perhaps its not only veteran’s skill - it’s low popularity of some builds in pvp create this gap.

I think you are quite right with this. I fly tackler a lot and it is one of the only counters to some ships like you say. the only problem is when the veteran is a long range *** with RT and high damamge positrons, focussing on farming Aces. The requires special measures such as recon/fast gunship

Cruise and slow beams?! Why would you waste such amazing potential of speedy tackler for low dps weapon?!
