why can’t we make an artillery minigun?

So the concept started with the Gatling gun, the first rotating multi-barrel machine gun, and then was scaled up into the modern minigun. That was then scaled up to the 20mm Vulcan and 30mm Avenger autocannons.

Why can’t we scale it up even further with a multi-barrel rotating artillery cannon? One that shoots 3000 artillery rounds per minute and sends massive barrages of artillery?

It’s been said heat is a big reason why but I wonder when we’ll get rail guns that can shoot larger rounds faster since there isn’t any explosions to contend with?
