It could simply be that a few people think they are the best and the rest follow until someone breaks from the herd and tries something new. In Uprising 1.8, and I think in 1.7, the Scrambler Rifle has the second best range and the best DPS and damage potential per magazine. It may suffer a reduced efficiency against armor but it does 40% more damage per second versus the Combat Rifle which should overcome the drawback.
Except in PC and low frame-rate settings the ScR is severely hindered due to its single-fire operation.
CR is more reliable, a finishing weapon (added armor damage), easier to fit and the Basic one is ridiculously good.
Combat Rifle is definitely the superior weapon, RR is just the easiest to use

Low frame rate doesn't affect the burst mode of the CR as well? I haven't done PC in a long time. Have the lag fixes not helped PC as well? I thought that issue was resolved.
Not as bad as the ScR, thing is you can still "sort-of" hit scan with the CR; because, and you'll hear other top tier players say this, when you get the "tap" or rhythm down perfect with the Boundless Combat Rifle it essentially fires like an automatic weapon (incessant tapping is in fact detrimental to your DPS as the gun locks up) thats why I find no need to run an assault CR but to each his own.
The ScR is a lot more "finicky", the biggest issue for me is that I fire faster than the game is capable to keep track of, input lag is a huge factor since in PC fights overheats are usually a single click away.
And with a gun where your opening shot is the deciding factor, frame rate lags and freezes are often bigger threats than the red dots.
I've had 7 patches worth of experience with the ScR in PC games, It's an amazing weapon when the stars align and the game runs smooth but any other time; CR errday

The RR is just an I win button at any range.
You can't push a point as effectively with an RR as you can with a CR.
Camping a point is another story
