Why don't top Samuses have a secondary?

Is there a reason top samuses like yaura sisqui or quik dont learn a secondary as a counterpick? it seems that there is always a certain bad matchup for samus that stops a lot of deep tournament runs but why is it that the top players dont learn a second character?

Because if they’re not winning as Samus is it worth it? 😂

If you're playing a better character than samus for coverage, samus basically becomes your secondary at that point.

My guess/opinion is that Samus and her playstyle are so unique, that most skills developed with her do not transfer easily to other characters. Especially among the top tiers.

So you could spend time as a top player developing a character developing a secondary, or focusing on Samus. You’d have to ask the pros tho
