Except that unlike electronics components, the wings do eat into the Mechanics requirement, which is the limiting factor for base damage. 80 Mechanics wings means 8 more skills points needed to make a spear out of the same metal plate. If you already have the electronics, adding an electric component to the spear has 0 penalty on its damage (10% for the energy component) - same Mechanics requirement.
I agree that it's pretty minor compared to the bonus you get, but I think having that penalty reflect the bonus you get to be more appropriate than removing the powered modules.
