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?

Probably cheaper and less troublesome to buy several dozen artillery pieces. Then you dont have all your ducks in one pond if the enemy decides to lob an anti-artillery barage you way
