That saves some money, sometimes.
I know you make the comment of to each their own, but I could argue that there are shotgun setups that would provide the required versatility for someone not needing to engage in urban warfare, but would allow for home defense, hunting, and a host of other things, and at a lower price point than an AR.
For instance, my parents own (well, mine now since my dad can't handle a long gun any longer) a Remington 870. That shotgun can be used for turkey, deer, waterfowl, recreational shooting, and home defense. All with either a barrel change or, even simpler, a choke change and different ammunition.
As you said, though, to each their own.
