1. Cursairs and MCHs don't use their guns in the same way. Similar to how PLDs, SAM, RDMs, and DRKs have different types of swords that are utilized differently. Or BLMs and WHMs.
2. That's an interesting point of discussion about the canonity of dungeon weapons. At the very least, they don't come with an entire questline that establishes key points in Hydaelyn's history. And even if they are canon, they're certainly not going to invest all that time and effort in outdated level 50 weapons, they'll throw the lore in future job-related quests and the glamour designs on future gear.
