So these things would be heard perhaps a few times, and then never again. Plus during any single campaign you would only hear the speeches of your faction, not those of any other.

By contrast, the existing voicemods click in before AND during the battle. Plus you can hear the voices of the enemy too. So the amount of "earplay" the existing mods would get versus the "speech mod" is roughly 100-to-1. That equation makes it pretty darn hard to justify spending resources on speeches (although if some guys want to do it, so be it.)
I know, but he said it would be pointless. I'm just pointing out that it wouldn't quite be pointless, but I agree that it's probably not worth the effort anyway.
