Using Calvin Harris, David Guetta and Dr. Luke as an example, why do they not use an 808 track with a four-on-the-flour beat?

Hi, welcome to DjForums...
I wouldn't know where to begin on that one, why don't you ask them?
Yeah... I... uh... assume that this is a production question.

A bit weird, it's like asking why Adele does not do any heavy metal.

Simple.... 808 has a tail. The tail is too long.... the BPM of 4 to the floor 4 dance music is too fast, the tail wouldn't end in time for the next beat. Also... the bounce to that music comes from the bass being in the off beat, this requires a pause after the kick before the sub, little bit of space down there, the 808 would completely destroy it, not allow it to happen. We do have hardstyle which is similar but the tail would be heavily distorted, making it all midrange, not real sub, like that of an 808.
it's also worth noting... They do! but the 808 is shorter. Back in the Novation Drum station days, you'd often layer the 808 kick with the 909 kick and use lots of the other 808 drum samples too.
