One I see hunters wield and the other I have NEVER seen within range of a deer. Could happen, just not something I have seen in 40 years of hunting.
AR-10s have been gaining popularity for deer hunting in my area recently.
I get your point, but you are completely ignoring the handgun hunters out there. There was even a magazine devoted to it when magazines were still a thing. A simple internet search turns a bunch of sites devoted to it.

The 1st paragraph explains... "Not unlike hunting with archery tackle, the pursuit requires relentless practice, patience and persistence to succeed; however, it’s especially gratifying when you do" just like there is a difference between hunting AZ coues and OH white tail.
The AR-15 is designed for hunting humans, not game.
Do you go out to watch deer hunters often, or just when it's on TV?
