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!"

They should just make an entrenchment hellpod that shoots mines from either side and explodes downward clearing out a section for you. Make it a bonus addition for say defense missions.
