I was myself going to make a similar comment, but the maths is actually fairly in favour of grav cannons. they still inflict a reasonable number of wounds, sure there are better weapons for the points spent on grav, but though seer weight of fire a grav cannon and amp (1.85 wounds) will out perform a heavy bolter (1.67 wounds) so it isn't as wasted as you might think.
