That's a good point, see many people bring that up. Though I've always assumed that the guns looking the same is just because it's a placeholder model while they work on other stuff.

You are right about that, but I think even if it is not important for the game mechanics, it is important for most of the players.
I also wanted to mention that the font size is another problem with this game. I understand that it's hard to balance with all the informations on the screen.
Also it depends on your TV, but if I can play every other FPS with my TV why can't I play Dust? Do I have to pay like 800 bucks for a bigger TV for a F2P Game? ;)

You have to consider whether or not this takes priority over bigger issues like terrain glitches, bad spawn mechanics, half baked matchmaking, weapon/suit/vehicle imbalance, etc. Frankly I could care less about the graphics and sound effects if the core gameplay itself is more important... in this case it is.

Awkward vehicle handling adds to this. And sound effects. Weapons have less range than typical FPS's so the new player constantly puts himself in positions where normally he'd be ok but in Dust is as good as dead. Different suits having different amounts of health makes it hard for new players to get a sense of consistency on what it takes to kill someone. Just throwing out a few possible reasons. Honestly from what I hear most people who try the game and delete it only played one or two rounds before deleting it.

Right now I'm in the mindset that although the core mechanics are more important, they are in a good enough state right now that they can afford to spend some time working on graphics and weapon models so they can get new fans and stop the spreading of the popular opinion that Dust 514 is garbage. However I do see the point of view in letting them say what they want while CCP works on making the gameplay flawless, so when they finally do improve visuals and attract more gamers everything will be flawless. I still don't agree, there will always be something in the mechanics that needs fixing.
