Muscle bug isn't even ranked in the vr. This makes sense given that the top threats include sword Zacian and Yveltal, all of which have super effective moves that rip apart Buzzwall's biceps. That's not even counting how Mega Rayquaza just deletes it out of existence

Also, Buzzwall's typing is also a reason why Pheromosa isn't that great in ubers, it's almost an invitation for Xerneas to come in. Well, more like begging Xerneas to come in actually especially if they don't have poison type coverage, if they even get any in the first place

Buzzwole is a bad Pokémon for ND AG because almost every offensive threat in the tier can blow past it very easily. Xerneas' prevalence as a top-tier threat (as I've mentioned in one of my NDAG answers) doesn't help Buzzwole. Unlike in some other, lower tiers, Buzzwole doesn't offer any defensive or offensive utility and isn't a Pokémon to reckon for a ND AG team.
How is 'not ranked in the vr' not a conclusion exactly? The vr shows how good a certain pokemon is on the tier based on community input. If it's not ranked, it's asinine to use that mon, most of the time
