With Storm Legion, things are kinda finding a middle ground. The zones that I've seen demonstrate how magitech can be used in a pious and wholesome manner, and that faith alone isn't always enough. The main city is also Co-op.

Plus it's kind of a matter of "need to work together just to prevent any unexpected turns". Crucia's probably the most dangerous of the Bloodstorm given her tactics are far more subtle than the others. When you're looking for mind-controlled Storm Legion infiltrators, it's a lot easier if you don't have to worry about perfectly normal Defiant infiltrators that are fighting her too. So the exchange of information is probably as much a pragmatic choice as it is one that's been demonstrated via the effectiveness of cooperation.
