How come the F-16 doesn't use the GAU 8 gatling gun of the A-10 Warthog?

Why go halfway with a gatling gun?
Can you please bother not to reply if you are going throw a rhetorical tantrum instead of some fruitful discussion...Much appreciated

A: Rotary or Gatling guns are a very American thing. You will not find other Aircrafts using these. Example being Eurofighter, Rafale, Grippen do not use Gatling guns. Most Soviets and Chinese Aircraft use either GSh-23 or GSh-30 cannons.

B: Refer to your original question, "why J-10 is not using a gatling gun", can you please clarify why you think J-10 should be using a gatling gun or what is missing by not using a gatling gun ?

Well more ammo, insane rate of fire, less prone to jamming, and more shredding I guess.....

And it also kind of begs the philosophical question that why do Americans opt for Gatling guns and not these other nations?? Have they not miniaturized this tech or whatever.....

Because compared to m61a, gsh-23 is more powerful.
3600rpm 175g vs 6000rpm 100g
Why choose a less powerful weapon?
