A recent Apex Legends Reddit AMA touched on multiple topics including why Respawn doesn't add more care package exclusive weapons, though that could change in the future.
The Kraber .50-Cal sniper is a special case in Apex Legends as it can only be obtained through the game's care package system. While many guns come and go from being found only in supply drops, the Kraber is special as it has remained exclusive to being found in care packages only.
In a recent Reddit AMA with two of the developers of Apex Legends, a question was asked about if more guns were being developed to be supply drop exclusive.
Lead weapons designer Eric Canavese answered that this was not completely off the table and that research had been done on how to implement something like that but "ultimately with the amount of work it takes to build new and exciting weapons, limiting them to the care package feels underwhelming. I'm not saying we won't ever do it, but when evaluating how we want to spend our dev time weapons that can be cycled onto the floor are valued much higher because they can impact the meta in a more meaningful way as we continue to refine and balance the game."
So while more care package exclusive guns might be seen in the future, it appears that this is not high on the priority list of the developers as they choose to place their focus on other parts of the game.
