Do you never use Viral? Have you never made a crowd control Status build with Cold or Blast? Do you know there are also Conclave mods that use the D?

Here's a copy of my analysis of why a 'D' is an advantage from the Twin Kohmak page...

"Prior to Formaing a weapon you will not be able to put the 8 fully ranked mods you want on the weapon. If the weapon has a 'D' you will either use the slot to reduce the cost of a mod or just not use the slot. If it didn't have a 'D' you would still be leaving a slot empty. If you don't like the 'D' it doesn't matter that it's there because you are leaving a slot empty no matter what. If you like the 'D' then it's helpful.

A 'D' does not increase the number of Forma you'll need to use get the weapon to have the polarities you want. If you do not want the 'D' you use a Forma to replace it with something else. If it was instead a blank slot you would still need to use a Forma to polarize the slot to what you want. Either way you are using 1 Forma to make 1 slot have the polarity you want and as long as you replace the 'D' first then it can never get in the way of your "loadout diversity". If you want the 'D' that's one less Forma you need to use.

So, a 'D' polarity can be Beneficial, it can be Irrelevant and it can't be Detrimental. It makes some builds easier without increasing the difficulty of other builds and therefore it is an overall positive feature."

Unless you can actually describe a scenario where it will get in your way. Literally, name the weapon that starts with a 'D' polarity and the mods you want on it where the 'D' will prevent you putting them on before any Forma have been used.

Otherwise, please stop pretending it's a disadvantage.
