A lot of the debuff trees in the hacker discipline are more usable as team abilities than solo. It'll be far more efficient for you to burn an enemy's resistance, defence, IS and health and allow some random tank to finish them off than to try to do it all yourself.
Plus, a lot of the low-level abilities for each discipline take up a whole lot of memory space. If you load up to Virologist and up to Gunman, you've already eaten away at least half your memory slots and it's very difficult to effectively load two trees from two different areas. Two trees from the same area are much easier - destroyer and howitzer, ravager and ballista, etc.
