"Balance"

In theory, secondary weapons and melee are "worse" than primary weapons and so they can have higher mod values.

In actuality, many of the secondary weapons are as good (and often better) than primaries, and their better mods makes them incredible. In some cases, like Piercing Hit, the primary version is worthless, while the secondary versions can be useful for some weapons.
