Also we should mention that PP43 never was main weapon even in Soviet army. 750 000 of them were produced oppose to few (3 or 4) millions of PPSH41.
PPS43 was weapon of scouts, tank crews, sturm groups because it was lightweight and compact.
Other soldiers mostly like PPSH41

Also considering that PPS 43 in big quantities began to appear at the front at second half of 1943, when german troops were mainly retreating, we could imagine that germans get PPS43 in very small quantities
