I'm saying they didn't sell well because infiltrators had other roles they can play. It's nerfed to force anyone that invested into that class to change playstyles and make the SMG more important. Shotguns can't be used by infiltrators.

This seems to be their infiltrator revamp a bit early. That is gearing them more for close range and removing the far range combat from the game to more focus on objectives.

It might seem odd, but a lot of their balance decisions have had a marketing aspect tied into them. It's not really hidden since they've done it with most weapons when they were released then balanced months later. I think it would be better to just wait it out like normal. The designers will have a balance epiphany later that does what the community wants after their ulterior goals are met.
