"Advantages" as used in reference to weapon characteristics in the Wiki refers to any feature of the weapon that is *objectively* beneficial in some manner irrespective of the player's opinion or preferences. Many players may voice that they don't want the polarity, but the fact remains that said polarity on the weapon will reduce the cost of a matching mod within it by 50%, and thus is an advantage. Since there are mods that do benefit from said polarity like Cold mods and Channeling mods, then having a D polarity is advantageous. Whether the player actually uses said mods or thinks said mods are useless is irrelevant to the listing of such as an advantage or disadvantage.

The only time that having a polarity is disadvantageous is if there are no mods that said polarity fits with. As mentioned by Twilight053 above, the Dark Dagger's stance slot having a polarity that doesn't match either Dagger Stances it can be equipped with means that having said polarity only reduces the effective mod power of any stance within it, and thus is objectively a disadvantage. That is an example of a disadvantageous polarity, having a polarity is not.
