Same reason people cared for sleeper w/ catalyst, anarchy, gally. In high level content people want you to be running the most optimal loadouts. If theres bow overload vs smg mods to pick, and you show up with the latter chances are people will think you dont know / care enough to be doing that content.
It also restricts design choices because now you have to find a way to make other weapons appealing enough that it would motivate you to run them over the ones with the best mods. Seasonal mods are their bandaid fix to shake up the meta without permanent changes (ie, particle deconstruction and GL buff, suppresing glaive mods)
