Their offensive coverage is great, only resisted by a few types.
Defensively, they almost never have to worry about SE STAB from an opponent since usage-wise there are VERY few electric and grass pokemon, especially offensively-based ones. The only ones that come to mind are jolteon and thundurus, and even thundurus has to worry about them carrying ice beam (which almost all of them do.)
Water's just purely one of the best types, it's one of the only types if not the only type where its pure typing is competitively great for defense.
and don't get me started on rain
