why doesn't the bowgun have to have its string reset after every shot?

The elastic tendon helps reset the bowstring. Think of elastic bands, when you you shoot, it is like pulling elastic band foward. But after you let your hand go, it returns to the starting position along with the string.

@Digiquo, well, I was just explaining the bowgun that uses the bowstring, not every "bow"gun. I guess they just call every gun in Monster Hunter series a bowgun because the first gun they invented is probably an actual bowgun.

The "muskets" you see in Monster Hunter are probably just replicas of muskets. Maybe they are pump action in a musket gun shape.

The thing that bothers me the most is that they have the technology to use spring...
