Why N, H or S genes are more commonly used for the design of RT PCR kit compare to Rdrp or other gene that code for a particular enzyme?

While rdrp or other gene are absolutely mandatory for viral multiplication in the host, I find that these type of gene are not frequently used for diagnostic RT PCR kit. Rather genes like N, H, E...

1. Is there any complication of using gene coding for enzymes (like rdrp) while designing a RT PCR kit for diagnostic purpose?

For instance, there are not many RT PCR kits for SARS CoV-2 that targets rdrp gene (generally conserved) which is absolutely critical and for the virus rather most of the kits are targeting N or E...
