Because the damage is laughable (until a canker hits you or the bug catches you). In pvp your running around and see your getting hit but your shield/hp is barely ticking down, then WHAM a bug or four hit you and you fall over like someone creamed you with a bat to the temple.
Also shotguns are beloved because they have awesome burst damage in close quarters. Sawed off are 1shotting people from cloak (stealth), combat shotguns are fast action pellet guns that hurt from quantity over quality (though the slug shot versions are quality over quantity), and a pump action is just better damage than a combat shotgun. Not to mention reloading a shotgun does not require you to sit there fiddling with it for overly long except on sawed offs and chances are you are cloaked while doing that.
