Haha yeah I guess that's because, like I said in my first post, they can make multiple buildings at a very short timespan (1-10 seconds) with only 1 probe. Also you just have to take 1 probe with you to cannon rush, while if Terran wants to bunker rush, they have to take multiple SCVs to build multiple bunkers at the same time while trying to not get killed, if they do get killed, they have to be replaced by another SCV. Zerg has to take a lot of Drones if they want to Spine Crawler rush in ZvZ, luckily the Drones are not vulnerable to attack while morphing into a Spine.

Just my 2 cents.

To be real frank, each Worker has their own pros and cons.

SCV
Pros: Survivability due to Mass Repair any mech friendly, including fellow SCVs. Essential in Mech Armies. If have Orbital Command, should SCVs be destroyed, Free MULES can speed up the work.
Cons: Slowest Acceleration, SCV exposed while building because he needs to be there.

Drone
Pros: Health Regen, Mass Droning for mass economy.
Cons: Sacrifices a drone to mutate into a structure, but in a way, it's hard to stop a drone from rushing an extractor in an enemy base.

Probe
Pros: Fast Acceleration. Needs only a probe to "Summon" or "Warp In" a base FAST! Choice for Proxy Cheesing.
Cons: Only shield regen and can't replenish loss health if damaged.

faithHunter:

All 3 workers have equal acceleration, but nevertheless, nice analysis
