I think it's more about how dangerous they are in general, and the neutralizer fields are just to make absolutely sure they can't even react to nearby emotions, each other, or generate static balls.

Before Alice's Mirror's effects were retconned in "Fractures", and only activated via a bright light/a specific combination with the Studio 54 Disco Ball, Artie still decided to move it to the Dark Vault because it contained A) a sentient and murderous being that B) could look like a WH agent and use that to her advantage to wreak havoc. And although not official/sanctioned storage, he still thought the safest place for the Astrolabe, which could manipulate time itself, was the Dark Vault.

Plenty of artifacts are activated by proximity or just being looked at, but the Dark Vault is reserved for the Worst of The Worst. Murderous possession, mass mind control, etc.

The Dark Vault does have some technically "tamer"/"lesser" artifacts like Henry Dreyfuss' Phone and Plath's Typewriter (suicide) and Lloyd Loar's Mandolin (user loses grasp on reality), but still.

(Hence why I think having the Ruby Slippers have the power to summon twisters powerful enough to raise entire houses, and god forbid the WH itself, off the ground, is the best effect for it, since storms aren't isolated to one house and can have disastrous effects for the surrounding area, potentially for miles around).
