When seeing the hunter Acolyte it got me wondering. Why Acolyte, it feels as though they didn't have another option. Witch and knight are of comparable power level just different paths. I always thought Acolyte was before you would pick one of those paths.
Of course this is just my understanding, so if someone knows of lore that would provide concrete info regarding hive evolution please share!

That is how it works, Bungie probably just decided to have the hunter be an acolyte because the other option is a thrall.
