The difference between Hilryn's Shield Pillage and Mag's Polarize is that the former ability only takes and restores, whereas the latter ability deals explosive damage based on the amount of shields/armor stolen. Back when Shield Polarize dealt percent-based damage she was incredibly hilarious with the Corpus due to her dealing more damage the larger the enemy's shield pool was, essentially making Sortie conditions like Enhanced Enemy Shields a joke.

Hildryn's Shield Pillage doesn't instagib entire groups of Corpus on cast, hence why it's considered okay for it to deal percent-based shield and armor steal.
