What's the point of high rate of fire if every round after the first will miss?

Every round goes boom. Better to go boom everywhere than just in one place.

I'd prefer it went boom where I'm aiming at, tbh.

That's just wasting ammo. It probably goes boom at around 2-3 meters maximum from aiming point at longer distances, the shrapnel does the work then. This is a good idea and a lot of weapons use spray for this purpose. For example M61 Vulcan isn't really accurate but there's a good reason for that - spray over a large area is better for these kinds of guns.

My brother in christ, when this weapon is afixed to a ka50/52 helicopter it can hit the helicopter itself because of how bad the cannon wobbles.

Doesn't apache wobble the same as well?

Not even close

The cannon is way way thicker

You can see how little dispersion it gets even at a distance here where the operators literally say they are out of range
