We keep coming back to trying to justify damage resistance, damage reduction, aiming penalties, or other effects that typically cost points as a side effect of an ability that wouldn't normally provide that benefit ever.
I'm not sure the modification for Innate Attack would be larger than for DR and Obscure. Arguably the Aura modifier is all you need for Innate Attack, and I definitely can't think of any single official enhancement which would give that effect for DR or Obscure.

There are plenty of enhancements which give you effects which the baseline advantage lacks. Side effects of Advantage mechanics are also perfectly fine. What isn't fine is just trying to expand the scope of an advantage beyond what the rules for the advantage gives you.
