Have you played some of the community FFA servers? If you choose hard bots, on most servers, the bots have inhuman reaction and accuracy.

But I guess your point is fair -- it would be much nicer to see bots that cooperate as well as they aim. Would allow much more realistic takeover scenarios to be played.

I remember superhuman bots in Perfect Dark. It was kind of fun to play against them sometimes (by setting traps and cheesing map geometries mostly) but it was not very much like playing multiplayer at all.

Yea, I think your second paragraph captures it. "Better" doesn't mean mechanically better at aiming. It means more realistic, and player-like behavior. Maybe also more more behavioral variance, so they don't feel like a team of 5 copies of the same person.
