"Heavy" isn't worth the costs

Cost one less wit
They attack at cost of 1 a lot of times, this is a huge advantage especially with the +1 on kill, meaning if you kill something you did not lose any wits.
Although they move slower their range is farther.
Even though u have to defend snipers, in large attacks you won't be sending a unit on its own so in these situations those "defenders" should have already been there.

I'm sure some other people can think of more reasons why snipers > heavies.

This being said I would only rather have a predeployed sniper over a predeployed heavy if I'm adorables.

You're right. Usually I spawn more snipers than heavies, but that doesn't mean heavies are useless right? Sometimes if I have many wits left but few unit to defend I may spawn heavy instead of sniper to deal with 3-HP soldier because it can usually survive longer while sniper may end up killed in the next turn
