Even if they had been balanced out, they would've just been toned down versions of the bosses you fought in story mode/arcade ladder/challenge tower, strength-wise and such. Even in MK games where the boss characters WERE playable, they weren't balanced out in the least, Armageddon being a prime example... And that's coming from someone who liked kicking ass in the game with someone like Onaga.

The only way bosses in a game like MK9 would be playable is either through hacking purposes, or control them temporarily in some non-online mode, like how they allowed you to control Goro at one point in the tower.
