I can see to a degree the reasoning, but then again, if you liken it to machine guns because of its "shotgun-like" capabilities using grape, etc - then one need only look at the higher tech values for machine guns to see that the Horse Artillery is different than the rest...

Heavy support weapons (machine guns) is listed as being (50) instead of just 50.

Game mechanics wise, it seems that artillery or support weapons with a high rate of fire - both can't go up against normal infantry with their full value, but instead, are treated as being items that only count for those special categories.
