Because Resistance can use Black One title and ditch the ion into their target with SDVanes.

Scum/illicit ships can take feedback array + SDV and ion any enemy ship at range 1.

If SDV was not expensive, this combo would be everywhere:

Partisan Renegade (43)
Feedback Array (4)
Static Discharge Vanes (8)
Pivot Wing (0)
Total: 55

You can sort of control when you blow up. Still 30 points for whatever else you want.

In Aces High format at Worlds, a player used this combo with Nien Nunb to great effect. Caught the entire table off guard and royally screwed one player :P

Derp, nonbo alert. You need Feedback Array to self-hurt, the SDVs do literally nothing here unless you face enemy ion. If you want an upgrade that gives you more control over when to blow up, look at electronic baffle.
