Also remember that it is only available to people who pay real money, which is a much smaller amount of people than what there would be if it were an event prize. So the amount of people using it to begin with is lower, and it will decrease even more after the update as mentioned before.

I wouldn't worry about it too much - I was super annoyed with the Summer Camp gear stopping Double Barrel Shotgun, yet you barely see that used at all any more, even though it was an event prize and was available to lots of people.
