What is the logic/reason to not allowing multiple Tailguns 
1. It would be overpowered?
-Can't broadside.
-At most you can only have 4 weapons firing on a target(s) if using 4 tailguns.
2. It allows multiple Tailguns by converting the fused tailgun into an interchangeable aft weapon, basically opening up a 4th aft slot. Then you could just switch it out for another weapon thereby single-handedly making cruisers obsolete by having the same 4x4 weapons loadout on an escort?
Post a non-fused Phaser Dual Cannon Tailgun version on the Dil store. Unlockable once purchase of the Patrol Escort Refit is made. Just like you need to do for Andorian Phasers and Cardassian Spiral Wave Disruptors. The Patrol Escort Refit would still have its fused Tailgun. It would just be able to equip more.
3. It would make the Patrol Escort Refit lose its uniqueness?
The Patrol Escort Refit would still retain uniqueness (BOff layout and console) in that its the only escort with a 4th aft weapon slot and actually adding to it by fitting a total of 4 tailguns instead of 2-3 with other escorts/destroyers.
4. Why would you want 4 Tailguns, 4 Dual Cannons at that?
Different setups call for different playstyles and approaches. I'm all for that aren't you? Just because one cannot see a use for it doesn't make it useless.
In the immortal words of Captain Jean Luc Picard, "Make it so!" *looks at Cryptic/PWE*
I would also like to here fellow officer's thoughts and comments on this.

The first Belfast was commanded by Captain Ve'Kal Shon until its destruction in 2409. A new ship was commissioned bearing the same name and registry as special dispensation to then newly promoted Captain Edward XIII for his pivotal role during the renewed Dominion War.

"over pored", you mean overpowered right? So the rear arc is suppose to be weaker than the fore? I guess 3 tailguns (4 on the Tempest) would spell doom for raider ships and their weak shields and raider bonus... I suppose.

The second one in particular will address much of your comments about the tail gun.
I saw that video 2nd vid a while back. As he said its use is situational (I would disagree that "it can be" not "is").
It would just add a slightly different approach on the bomber role/strafing and add a new challenge for raiders/flankers to deal with.
