Question

Why does the MEKO 360 H2 carry a single 40 mm gun for air defence?

Short answer

Because a 40 mm gun still works against the level of threat it is expected to face.

Notes

A 40 mm gun remains useful when its performance matches the threat assigned to it. The weapon does not have to defeat every possible target to justify its place on a MEKO 360. Within the intended level of air threat, the existing gun is still considered adequate.
