I think it's overused because it's relatively new. It happens all the time. When the Vectis was released I kept seeing snipers all over the place, even though it wasn't truly effective in all mission types. Same thing with the Soma and, recently to a lesser extent, the Burston Prime (since it's harder to acquire).

Of course it might be used more than other "new" weapons because it's pretty good, but when many realise a good old fashioned rifle is better in many situations it will die down a bit.
