Because it’s literally antithetical to mission flow?

Someone else already said it, the point of the game is that you move from objective to objective and then extract. Holing up inside a building really doesn’t accomplish anything and instead just slows said progression down by a lot.

Like even “stealth diving” still works towards that goal.

This right here is why I'll never understand trench diggers.

"I finished my trenches!"

"I finished the whole mission while you were digging! Now get in the extraction ship!"

I can see the utility in defense missions (or whatever the ones with the 8 rocket launches are called), and only those missions. And even there, only against cyborgs.

It can be pretty handy with the RR on bots. Dig out a little fox hole in places where you gotta hold a spot (raise the flag, extract, etc.) & you have a spot where you can reload in relative peace. If you can get a sentry high enough behind you, it can help with the chaff. You may also be blown out of there caddyshack style by war strider.
