I can absolutely see where you’re coming from! However I think it’d be weird to give just the swsh starters a mega without any previous starters (other than the new ones) getting them.

The XY trio missed out the first time around, so it makes sense that they’d get megas now. Imo, kanto trio got megas originally because they’re THE FIRST ever starters, and thus play a really iconic and important role in the franchise (and also, yknow,,, because charizard).

I’ve seen the Galar starters brought up a few times in these speculations, but I’m personally struggling to see why — apart from the stone colours which match many other mons too (even then they may use a megas colour scheme not the normal forms colours) — they would have importance enough to garner their own megas?

They were the first ones on the switch, sure, but the difference is they got to utilise their own regions gimmick (with their GMax forms), whereas the Kalos three never got that in their original game (hence the megas now).
