They do look like stylish shotguns, and seem like they would work good, but I think that part of it is that Weatherby doesn't have so much name recognition in the shotgun market, and the shotguns are expensive, which isn't a problem for some hunters, but a hunter in the market for an expensive auto-loading shotgun is more likely to buy a shotgun with higher name recognition, like Bennelli, or Franchi, or Ithaca, for example.
