Electric is pretty much the best plain element you can get on a weapon. Radiation + Viral for Grineer, Magnetic + Toxin for Corpus, Corrosive + Heat/Blast for Infested.

There's also no wasted damage, considering how one of the factions is usually partially resistant to one of the main damage types of a weapon. Ex: Heavy Grineer reduce all that slash damage from a D. Nikana down to half.

The trade off for being able to become a jack of all trades is that it isn't a true master of any of them. It can't beat D. Nikana against Infested or Jet Kitty against Corpus.
