Two-mana reanimation is a rate white almost never touches, so the whole design leans on a cap: only the cheap end of your graveyard qualifies, nothing you could call a bomb. That restriction is what keeps the spell honest, because the thing you return had to be inexpensive to begin with. What it buys is a way to make the bottom of your curve durable. A mana dork, a value creature with an enter-the-battlefield trigger, a cheap artifact engine: any of these climbs back onto the battlefield for two, and a creature comes back with a +1/+1 counter, a modest dividend for the recursion rather than a way to turn the returned body into a genuine threat. The quieter half of the card is that the target can be an artifact just as easily, letting it rebuild a broken combo piece or replay a cheap Equipment or mana rock. It belongs to white's tradition of low-ceiling recursion, the color's answer to black reanimation that pays life and cares nothing about how big the thing it drags back is. Here the trade runs the other direction: no life paid, no ceiling reached, just efficient recovery of pieces that were already cheap enough to lose without much pain. The counter is both the flavor and the small reward; the value clamp is the load-bearing rule that makes a two-mana reanimation spell something white is allowed to have.
