well, because fire rate mods exist nobody would ever use the automatic mode then. Because you could just turn it into a mini latron prime and then never bother to use the auto mode. In Warframe the concept dosn't really seem to be worth it unless there was a reason to use both modes other than just "i fire one less shot and deal twice the crit chance".

Maybe when you have it on automatic mode it enables built in ammo mutation or something, to encourage people to use that mode despite the same dps with lower ammo efficiency.
