A. It was very uncomfortable, having a sensation very much like dehydration and/or having your stomach violently emptied after vomiting; only in your fucking arms where such sensations should not exist.
B. Energy intensive. After using a lot of web, Parker would feel tired and hungry, needing to eat to regain the lost mass as well as rest while his body produced more webbing.
C. Inflexible. Only two kinds of webbing could be produced: sticky and non-sticky (much like real spiders). Early on, this was good enough, but tricks like making a fully made spiderweb in one blast was impossible. Single strands of web only, again sticky or nonsticky. And the sticky webs were the most unreliable, as the gland that produced the sticky quality in the webbing would run out of juice before the web-protein producing glad would. Imagine trying to travel across NYC via webslinging, and all of a sudden the ends of your web strands no longer stick to glass. Very inconvenient.
Thus, Parker build an artificial webshooter later on based on his own body's webshooting chemicals and processes; only now more complex webs could be made instantly on demand and the web/sticky juices could be reloaded via cartridges. Also perhaps things other than the natural web could be shot out, such as webbing lined with conductive particles to create a taser. Of course Parker doesn't solely rely on the artificial webshooter, but does make a certain amount of effort to make his opponents/the public believe that he only has artificial webshooters - thus enabling him to avoid any mutant racism connections as well as trick enemies into thinking that if they disable or destroy his webshooters (or if he runs out of web juice for them) then he is completely without webs entirely.
tl;dr Both is always the best choice.
