Removing the equipment factor from Arenas would suit a different style of game, WOW is big on slow, painstaking character growth. That said I do think low level twinks are a problem because the BGs should be fun for new players and being one-hit by someone you can't even touch isn't fun.
Even if gear differentials were removed there will still be players with 'unfair' (ie. not based on skill) advantages over others. A more modern machine, a better connection to the server, even an appropriate interface - ever tried to heal in Arena using Grid and mouseover macros? I don't recommend it!
