You have to balance form and function.

A Warframe just sucking in everything in a 12m radius would just look silly. I never got to test it, because of playing on console, but I definitely preferred the concept of a 6m innate vacuum on all sentinels. You're freeing up mod space so it needs a trade off, which was the reduced range.

PS.Running around looking for ammo and frequent reloads are the trade off on high fire rate weapons to balance their burst DPS.
