Because the kaiju come through at the absolute bottom of the freaking ocean.
Yeah, and they totally couldn’t have gotten any teck way down there to save the world with…. like a couple of Jagers with some nukes… or ya know, those super effective swords that they decided to only equip one friggin Jager with…
Sorry, just teasing ^_^, it was a fun movie but there were some major gaps in logic
The kaiju just move out of the way of any stationary guns on the surface, and you can’t really put an electric weapon at the bottom of the fucking ocean.
Because we’re smart enough to build robots the size of mountains that link to your brain and move with the fluidity of the human body without collapsing under their own weight or shaking all the local buildings apart but not smart enough to figure out “put the shooty things where the bad things what need to become shooty’d come out”.
You think that’s bad, Flutters? Next they cancel the giant robot building program that had at least moderate success…and replaced them with a wall. And not a wall with guns on it, just a wall…which failed one hour into the first monster attack it faced.

This is actually a pretty good question for a marriage interview.
“When I arrive home and find you relaxing, what are you most likely to be doing?”
(or: “Given unlimited tech/prospects how’d you spend your free time”)
“Watching animal documentaries that I’m super into” sounds pretty cute.
