Am I missing something?

Been using gundam dantalion half cowl since i started and I only just noticed this about the pilot. Why is his ranged 100 points (at lv 55) higher than his melee? He came with this gundam and yet he has a high ranged stat despite the gundam having no range skill? Anyone know why? I got this thing where I like matching the gundam with the original pilot so might drop this gundam if there isn't a good reason.
