Anything that gives the weapon the ability to mount a mod - any mod - at reduced cost and thus allow for more higher ranked mods to be slotted without using Forma is an objective advantage, regardless of how the player uses the weapon. It's not a disadvantage because it only becomes such if you put a mod that isn't of the same polarity in that slot, and even then that's a disadvantage brought about by player choice rather than being an innate weapon characteristic. The polarity is only a perceived disadvantage, not an objective one.

For another example of a perceived disadvantage over an objective one, let's look at the recent Nova Prime: it's a warframe that has 3 polarities. Now for some people the third (like me), the third is an annoyance since our builds do not make use of that third  polarity. However, for people who do run maxed Power Strength builds using Intensify + Blind Rage + Transient Fortitude, that extra polarity is beneficial. The disadvantage of that extra only stems about from player choice and preference, and for players who do use the  it's an advantage. Objectively since the does in fact allow for such a max Power Strength build to be made using less mod points, then it's by Nova's characteristics an advantage.

You are free to make note of the fact that the polarity is not to everyone's taste in the Notes section, though said fact is already noted in the page above us. However as a weapon characteristic, the polarity is to be listed as an advantage.
