Why do I need an Orokin Catalyst to install Gravimag?

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

I finally finished forma-ing my Kuva Grattler, it is MR40 and all eight mod slots are polarized. I don't need a potato in order to fulfill its loadout. Why am I required to use one before putting a gravimag into it?

Some have said this is how DE gets money, others have said it needs the potato to be effective anyway. Easy solution: allow the gravimag prerequisite to be fulfilled either by:
A.) potato
B.) 5x forma
After all, forma supply is so restricted, I wouldn't be surprised if DE gets more money in forma sales than in potato sales.

Catalyst, not Reactor

Because DE put the option on the same slot as the Catalyst (not Reactor BTW) option :P
