It would make shooting a bird in flight incredibly difficult, as it essentially narrows your view, slows reaction time, and flies in the face of all field gunning principles for shotguns.
That wasn't my experience with it at all. The frame of the sight was so thin that you never even noticed it was there. You have both eyes open focusing on the target so you never see the frame of the sight only the red dot which appears to be floating well in front of the shotgun. The sight picture you see is a duck flying and your thinking I see the duck and there is a red dot flying right in front of him.

I've shot red dot sights and Eotechs for years. I've bird hunted all my life. They have a purpose, but it's not for a shotgun (in the use provided in the OP... At least IMO. To each their own)
Shotgunning is almost instinctual. I couldn't imagine trying to pull a double while focusing on a floating reticle and a teal cruising through a flooded hardwood stand.
