Why is the O/U inferior for DG

The SxS double rifle is the traditional dangerous game rifle as opposed to the O/U style.
Few, if any of the well known hunters used the O/U even though they were available by some of the well respected makers.
Why is this do you think?
Why is it that O/U double rifles are uncommon in the big dangerous game NE chamberings?
Why do many shooters consider the O/U ok for the smaller cartridges like 9.3x74 but no good for 470 NE?
I'd be interested to hear members comments and opinions on O/U rifles FOR DANGEROUS GAME regarding things like......
Barrel opening distance.
Chamber loading.
Sighting.
Scope fitting. (QD)
Ballance and handling.
Action size and strength.
Trigger/s
Anything you feel is either good or bad regarding the O/U Rifle.

But remember that this question really relates to using the O/U Rifle for Dangerous Game.
