Its a similar discussion to the armoured debate.
Why put a bigger gun on a wheeled AFV? It's designed to kill tanks, meaning it will come into contact with thanks, who are much better armoured. You end up getting into scraps you can't get out of.
If we want an OPV with armament similar to a frigate, maybe we are better off just getting a frigate?
The Holland class is designed specifically with operating in the Dutch protectorates(anti Smuggling operations in the Caribbean), as a standalone unit. Their I-Mast cost as much as the ships themselves.
