What do you think would have happened if this guy had had a gun?

Unless someone is particularly a good shot, hitting a running and dodging target is very difficult. Specially with a handgun. Plus typically when you see someone pulling on you bolt. Now a knife on the other hand is a very personal weapon. One used very up close and without much reaction time. I would also reason that more people would be willing to grapple a gun being pulled out over a doing the same with a knife.
