If you'd look at the list above you'd see that some weapons, such as Zarr and Stradvar, actually do work that way. However,  it would be silly for many alt-fire weapons to work that way. Many explosive weapons use alt-fire as a detonate key, having to swap to a different fire mode before detonating would just waste time. Several alt-fires, like Azima, empty the clip and having to swap modes would make it 2 key presses instead of one. Buzloks tracking beacon doesn't need to be repeatedly fired so if it worked the way proposed you'd have to swap modes for one shot.
