Has to due with the fact that %usage depends on weapon accessibility, and the best Auto Rifles (HL + Suros) are both Exotic = highly accessible = higher usage.
On the other hand, the best Handcannons (Spare Rations + Dire Promise) require God-Rolls to warrant their use over other weapons = low accessibility = lower usage.
Also note that the %contribution that HL and Suros have is way higher than any other Auto Rifle (600s included).
NF as a 180 wasn't the most used because its Comp requirements to obtain it gave it a low accessibility, for example.

That's a driver for sure. I don't use usuage alone to determine the power of a weapon for that reason amd many others. I'm just using the logic of those who do against them. Even when Spare Rations needed a good roll, it is still the best 150 with it's stats alone. Even on console it has been #1 since the NF/Luna's nerf. So it was good even without a good roll. But exotics are even more accessible, so yeah. They're usage is gonna spike. And I'm fairly confident in saying that 600 RPMs are better than hand cannons ever have been on console, aside from pre-nerf NF/Luna's.
