Ya wanna drive a Suburban or a Porsche? After all, Suburbans will carry more people, most have 4-wheel drive, etc.
But, a Porsche or a small-bore are simply more FUN!
So, I am an older fellow who has side by side 12's, 16's, 20's, 28's, and yes, even a .410.
The smaller the gun, the lighter it is, and the more enjoyable walking and carrying it is.
If I shoot trap; I want a heavy target gun. But, if I want a fun day of walking shooting, I like a 16 or 28. To each his own.
A heck of a lot of fellows have shot a 28 at skeet, and thought to themselves "Well, I'll be damned.......it breaks targets HARD." Then went on to think "Gee, I bet this thing would kill birds too."
And..........it does, and they do.

Well, you are in good company, Samuel. Another Sam, now gone, an avid Southern quail hunter who favored Pointers (Think- Olld Roy) had a pair of beat-up Remmie 11-48 self-shufflers, both in 28 gauge. Here's a man who drove a beat up older truck, went in to his stores in his hunting clothes and stood in line to pay full retail for his ammo-and could have most likely afforded a matched pair of the best Limey small bores extant- I go with the: beat up older truck, the Pointers, the waiting in line and letting Ladies go first old fashioned way of doin' things- I'd just like the late Sam Walton (think Wal-Mart) if those 28 gauges were Model 12's (like another Southern gool ol' boy name of Phil Harris shot, and very well indeed too-
