Whilst, I agree, that it is probably a lucrative money maker for SC you have also got to take into account that heroes don't act like any other unit/building in the game and they take bits and pieces from each of them which,as far as I can see, makes any changes to the way they operate a lot harder to do than it is for any single other unit/building.
Personally I believe that if it was something as simple as them not trying to lose a cash cow an option like the one the OP suggest, pay an amount of gems to use them offensively in war, would have been implemented by SC by now.
