Some people do, but there are a few things. For one, Buckshots are slightly faster. While it probably doesn't make much of a difference, I'm sure there are people who go for them for exactly that reason. Another thing is they're particle versus laser guns, which at least previously, made a noticeable amount of difference (though I thought that may have changed - yes/no?). And as a last reason, they look prettier (at least in my opinion).
