As do I for the reason you stated. I also much prefer the location of the safety. No need to break your grip to engage or disengage it.

As long as you're using a standard stock, this is true.
Comparing the ergonomics of the two with a pistol grip, the 870 is better for the forefinger safety.
A pistol grip on the Mossies requires a grip change to manipulate the safety - slowing you down.

We don’t care for pistol grips on shotguns. Some do, I know and God bless them.

Best,
