Sniping in titanfall 2

So I noticed a weird stat while I was using the DMR last night, the accuracy is only 84. This makes no sense since the car, an SMG, has an accuracy of 85 and the volt, also an SMG, has an accuracy of 90. Why is this a thing? Why is a sniper rifles less accurate than a short range weapon? It's not like there are any terribly long distances in this game since the maps are pretty clustered so the mid and short range weapons have literally every advantage. Especially since aim starts shaking once you get hit by something. Why did respawn nerf sniping so hard in this game?
