Why is Morphine not popular?

It’s 1:1 equivalent with Hydrocodone. Doesn’t have the same euphoric effect of Oxycodone. Morphine IR for acute relief and ER for around the clock relief should be lot more common than it is. Yet, I rarely see a Morphine script. Shouldn’t it be preferred over Oxycodone or Hydromorphone ?
