And Bungie's -blam!-ed up physics engine means more times than not you get launched across the map like a -blam!-ing jumpship. A giant Hive Knight punching the ground is not going to emit explosive flatulence strong enough to do that. In fact, NONE of the enemies are large enough to do that. If anything a large stomp would stagger you more than it would launch you away. It's plain and simple a lazy effort to prevent shotgun spam because apparently they couldn't think of anything else. Colossi have jetpacks. Just make them fly away. Vex can teleport. Those can just hop away. Hive can punch a player away. A massive shockwave out of nowhere makes no sense.
