With a shooter we'd have to worry about ragdoll and character physics, which, for obvious reasons, would be more important than in a non-BE based game. (Ugh, clipping errors could look very bad.)
For that matter, it'd be hard to balance (no pun intended). Sure, bigger breasts could translate to more health, but they also make a character a bigger, more sensitive target, and the benefits and disadvantages depend heavily on player skill and playstyle.

There's another reason, too. Most shooters are games where you need to be contantly on edge, paying attention to your surrounds, looking out for any hint of a threat. A constant state of tense readiness isn't very compatible with 'enjoying the view.'
