The Corpus and Grineer are equipped to fight each other. They are at war, and they were already beating each other on the face with sticks and pointy blades before the Tenno became awake and started wrecking their shit. Having a melee weapon at hand is particularly useful when you're fighting enemies in cramped areas and tight corridors, which is where most of the fights happen. If you turn a corner and end up face-to-face with a guy with a Gorgon/Supra, you're probably gonna end up poking them in the eye before they can even finish spooling up their minigun.

Of course it's not safe, but the Grineer are too insane and the Corpus too brainwashed to even care.
