Or wires. Most T2k-era ATGMs were wire guided- I imagine that would also preclude or at least further complicate volley fire. If wires of multiple missiles were to get tangled during the missiles' flight to the target, it could interfere with or cut the command input from the user, causing missiles to miss.
