I never seen a shotgun snap used to spike the ball in the NFL or NCAA.

That's because they have enough practice time (except for some children's teams using NCAA rules) to work on a handed snap. It's not a trivial skill, and when your practice time is very limited (this season my club is allowed only 7 preseason practice sessions), if you install one kind of exchange for general play, you're not likely to spend time on the other if it's just for this situation. Easier to practice having an eligible receiver nearby to knock the ball down.
