Think about it this way guys, when the human race advances technology far enough to allow inter-stellar travel, guns would not be the first thing people would be thinking about. And the same rules aply today, we know the burning of fossil fuels will eventually destroy the planet, and hydrogen cars(cars that are like, 456% safer for the enviornment) are already invented, but why are we still using gas powered vehicles? Because we're lazy and stupid.
Your talking about objects available for public purchase. We are talking about military equipment. The military intends to constantly upgrade and modify our weapons. The only major issue is money. So if anything, its not that we are lazy or stupid, but we dont have enough money to fund a massive upgrade of weaponry. We may not have enough funding to begin researching new, more efficient forms of weaponry either.
