Just like russia, longer the game goes, stronger the civ gets.
And colonial skirm mass is the best port can wish for. Because after 8 pikes are gone, ports should spam as many fucking hus as they can.
Fortress skirm-ruyt mass is way way harder to handle. Organs bad, mames nerfed, cassadors suck ass
Yes it's good if you can keep trading since ports scale better. But you seem to forget that ports have a weak early game, which makes it harder to take good trades/hit good timings vs dutch, compared to, say, france.
So it's a higher risk/reward as ports, but not necessarily very good. Quite sure with a solid defense from dutch, ports can't do too much in colo.

It's a pretty close mu imo, map dependant too. You lose if you play it bot skirm goon as france though.
