why isnt the .45 SWC a popular defensive round?

I was taught that a disruptive wound channel that quickly causes traumatic blood loss is the ideal in defensive ammunition.

When you use slow moving ball ammo like a .45, the wound channel is not as disruptive as with something that would tear better like a swc/wc or hollow point.

along that reasoning why isnt the swc or wc more popular? Im sure theres something Im missing, please post your thoughts.

To clarify--this post came about because everyone seems to recommend either hollowpoint or ball ammo for a .45, nothing in between.
