Serious question, why auto switching is a something that anybody may want ? I want to change weapon when i cannot use it.

Iirc, we had auto-switching-on-empty in Titanfall1 and Titanfall2 (though you mostly *couldn't* run out of ammo in Titanfall2-MP, so was a non-issue). So it's just something that didn't come up much before, and was the right call for Titanfall2-SP, and carried forward without much examination.

If the game wasn't out yet, I suspect we'd push for this (not auto-switching) as the default, instead of the other way around.

Not sure about him, but switching the gun slots would make sure you get attachments auto put on your "primary".

I often have sights go on my shotgun/sidearm instead of my main gun because I picked them up first.

I think this is fixed, now, likely as of this patch. If you're holding two weapons but have your firsts out, attachments will prefer to go to your *most recent* primary weapon, instead of the one that's in slot-1. Don't quote me on that, things could've changed since that change went into our dev branch.

So if I would like my second gun to get the attachments, I should make sure I holster my guns when it is out, is that correct?

Should be the case, yup!
