Because it might be nerfed.
I stopped playing the game as often as I used to. I am still around, but not every night, and not every week. I just lost confidence in your weapons, Bungie.
It's a pretty bad thing in a shooter game when a player is unable to nurture its skills due to too frequent game mechanics changes made by a game developer.
Do not shoot yourself in a foot by doing things that reduce your customers base and do not hope your marketing team will cover your losses by winning the hearts of new gamers with another red bull or a similarly stupid campaign.
Stop nerfing our weapons, Bungie.
EDIT: removed Bait and Switch analogy.

Oh No! OP plans to use melee attacks exclusively. Sound Battle Stations! I say again sound Battle Stations! Prepare for melee nerf! OP is contributing to the over-saturation of melee kills. Bungie will not abide! I kid, of course. Play how you want. Just enjoy yourself. I haven't adjusted my core load out since the beginning. Meta be darned. Traded Another NiTC for Treads, but the principle is the same.
