I don't really understand why people keep comparing pom pom to Bofors.

Pom pom was used for the shortest ranges, where many others used 20mm guns.

Quad Bofors likely gets some minus points for being so large. Many destroyers replaced their torpedo mount or 5inch turret for a single quad Bofors. It's not much more than two twin mounts together. Of course two twin mounts that close would occasionally hit each others barrels and that would be gay, so we can't have that.
