Alright, let me try and explain this.
The people that stack Lightning resist do so because they stack bonus stats and they know Overload will hit them ridiculously hard.
Adding a cap (that actually keeps it worth using) would pretty much either:
A) Only weaken the spell against what it's meant to be used against.
or
B) Not actually weaken the spell at all, because the cap is high enough to not be (or just barely be) reached.
And, in either of these cases, the damage would still be completely unchanged against people with few, if any, buffs (like the one I'm using as an example in the OP).
Also, keep in mind that none of the skills with a damage cap (out of all three of them I can think of) are actually based on a stat.
Remember the invocation.
