That definitely isn't the reason. Look how many movies still use the Beretta 92F, and 2nd Gen Glocks, and German-made SIG 226s/228s. How often do you see those guns used in the real world anymore? Armorers often don't have the most up-to-date weapons in their armories, for reasons that MPM explained.

I think that if nothing else, the 4506 is likely to be rare because armorers tend to use 9mm pistols so often. As Steve has explained elsewhere, the Beretta's popularity is because (1.) it's a 9mm, and (2.) it's one of the most reliable pistols with blank rounds.
