As ironic as it may be, that is a valid tactic.
In most common RPGs, when you get rare consumables or ammo, most people tend to use them as little as possible due to their rarity. Let's say you have 50h of gameplay through the story, you get some items on the 4th hour, unless it's heavily prompted to be used and/or required for advancement, it'll stay in your inventory for later. Sure it would help you out early on, but then it would be gone, especially if you can manage without using it. And when poop hits the fan, you'll be sure to use it sooner or later. On the other hand, if you use it in a normal situation, you'll be cursing later on in a tough situation that you could have left it for said situation.
The same goes for ammo and guns. Sure you could use it early on, but why waste it on scrubs, as later on you'll have a bigger challenge? Sure you can find a lot of that early on, but it doesn't mean it's enough to last a horde night or something (maybe on lower difficulty). Making guns more rare is a solution, ammo not so much.
