This one is REALLY easy to answer:
Vortex missiles are not Artillery. They definitely do require Line of
Sight. Even then, given the cost, there is a WD article recommending
that they do a D6 AT shots (not a D6 Death Rays) to anything under the
template.
As to why, consider the effect of a Vortex missile against a Tyrranid
BioTitan, or a Chaos Lord of Battle or Scout Titan etc etc. Not everyone
has the luxury of having void shields...
