Because CoD is a very fast paced game and they hope to distract the easily distracted masses with "ohh! Shiny bullets!!"

That being said, I'm not really a fan of DLC weapons anymore. Once they come out, everyone in the lobby is either using it, or the two most OP guns in the game. Makes everything pretty boring.
