Some players don't have the time for that. Some don't like it. It is easy for those to reach a general consensus not to use ammo. If you want fights with ammo, then fight someone else, or buy them ammo.
As simple as previously establishing the rule of "No ammo" or "w.ammo" fight. Conn is generally not a place where you CAN'T use ammo. Learning to nuke properly isn't easy either.
Guns are more important in group fights than they are in duels outside of Conn. Even then they still provide a noticeable edge in duels. Nukes don't matter is much in snub groupfights when one isn't targeted. There is also a certain percentage of people running full hullbusters or shotguns + MR/Inferno or screamers.

I have people who do this for me. Just hire someone.

With certain things, yes. But as I pointed out earlier, Maxim rounds are a totally different matter. You can get maybe 60 out of about 3k

Expensive? Seriously? Get to trading, ammo is not that expensive at all. There's a tip saying "don't tractor other people's ammo" so you can take back most of it once you respawn, or ask them nicely if they do tractor it.
As for Maxim, missiles and such, using them in a regenless duel is meh because the ammo is made for an actual fight with regens, and for instance spamming a maxim mindlessly gives you a big advantage.

Generally a fight with ammo includes use of regens, even in conn.
