Same reason you're not allowed to play as Akuma in SSF2 Turbo tournaments; the game stops being about how well you play and starts being about how well you play as Akuma. It narrows the scope to the point everyone's got to do the same thing or die horribly.

If, as you see it, the only options for people are "use the weapon" or "stop playing entirely," you're making a very strong argument for it being broken.
