Every semi-auto shotgun also has a charging handle on it, which if you think about it can serve the exact same purpose as the pump action on a shotgun. If for some reason the semi-auto function fails you can still load it manually like a pump.

Not disagreeing with you. You can use the charging handle in this way, auto guns are less reliable though and a little slower.
An auto gun you can expect a cyclic rate of about 1 round per sec. with a pumper , with practice, you can do about 3 rounds in 2 sec(it's going to hurt though and you have to make yourself do it). This type of speed is only useful in 1 type of situation though.
