Sounds like a you issue. If you wanted to use other weapons, you definitely could have. The game gives you ammo left and right, and it doesn't take long to build up a small stockpile of a bunch of different kinds.
I'm a sucker for energy weapons. It's a space game, and I wanna pew-pew some baddies. I got that double-barrel laser rifle and that's been my primary weapon for like 75% of my playthrough.
It is not exclusively about the ammo, it's the combination of infinite ammo and the extreme versatility mentioned at the beginning of my comment. Of course you can use other weapons, but you don't really get a reason to because it is enough for every situation.
I don't understand the "you issue" thing when the statistics image linked here shows that the Beowulf was the most used weapon across all players. That's like, the most objective, empirical proof possible that it is not a "me issue"!
