The other side of it is that there's a serious lack of variety for energy weapons compared to most other weapon choices.

In short: Energy Weapons are too weak for the point in the game at which you gain access to them they are too ammo intensive (and their ammo is harder to get!) and they simply don't do enough damage. And don't even get me started on the Recharger weapons, there's a funny joke. Plasma Caster and Multiplas Rifle are the only really viable ones the Plasma Defender is ok too, but it eats ammo super fast. So, not only do they require more ammo, but it's harder to get that ammo. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that Energy Weapons ammo is perversely a) more expensive and B) harder to find than Guns ammo. 2 rounds per shot for the Plasma Rifle is an absolute joke. You get initial access to energy weapons at the same time you get access to the (far more powerful) better guns.
Plasma Rifles and Laser Rifles are statted as low-level weapons, which would be fine if you could get them at a relatively early point in the game, but you don't.
The vast majority of energy weapons are terrible, even on Normal.
