The 5.7 was designed as a close range package (in conjunction w/ the P90). It doesn't have the lethal reach of a MBR or even an assault rifle. The M4 can even outdistance it.
Another problem would be the logistics of supplying two distinct firing platforms and the associated training of said separate platforms.
