Well they kept it because they are the single squad with bodyarmor on the model

But to be serious, it brings consistency. Because in order to drop shocktroops models, you actually have to damage them enouth, they wont drop models instanly just because enemy squad managed to lay 4 hits with the voley on 1 model.

Its like having your 1 model instantly being sniped just because it was first to enter into enemy LoS, this is the bad RNG roll of rec.acc. If mentioned unit had armor, then it would have been hit aswell but damage would have been determened by the armor it had, rather then how lucky you are.

For example, imagine 10 shots being fired with 0.8 accuracy.
With armor, you have 80% chance to hit the enemy and damage enemy recieved is based on the armor value it has.
With received accuracy your squad accuracy is calculated based on the enemy received accuracy. So you might hit enemy 10 times or 0 times, based on the RNG rolls.

I see what you mean, but my point is that you could reach a similar effect by (making up numbers here) for example setting their DPS at range 10 to 90% of the current value, increasing up to 120% at range 0. They'd still do very heavy damage after crossing "only" 25 meters. No enemy is going to stick around and SMG squad that is 10 meters away either way, not with the current system nor with the "proposed" one. But the proposed one would be and feel more intuitive.
