I haven't really looked into anything in this discussion beyond shotgun sets are more efficient and productive than under center sets. Looking at a few historical seasons, you're definitely right on the trend that teams with mobile QBs run shotgun more often. I personally don't think you need a mobile QB to run shotgun sets more often, but that is the league trend at the moment. Slightly increasing so far this season over last league wide, but still. 

It's not a requirement Chargers for example are a team that runs alot of shotgun and doesnt run their QB alot. The last 4 or 5 years of Ben Roethlisbergers career they ran a ton of shotgun and he was by no means close to mobile.

Shotgun does allow the QB oppurtonities to run more often when the field is spread out and you can see the defense turn their backs.
