They don't give rN+ either. I wouldn't have any problem if they gave rN+ as well. They used to not give rCorr either IIRC, but that was changed.
I guessing they only give fire, ice, electricity, acid and poison because they're supposed to be "resistance against the elements". Apart from flavour, I don't see any problem with them giving rN+ and MR+ as well.
About the item rarity: according to objstat you find about 6.5 potions of resistance in a full 3-rune game and about 12 brilliance potions in a 3-rune game. Since brilliance is often useless for melee types, I wouldn't want MR+ to be on brilliance instead of resistance.
