Why is this not played more often

I play lower rated Blitz games a lot I'm only an 850 but I have been having some success with this :

 

I cant find any name for this opening when I put the queen on E2 but what has been happening is they stick a piece in front of the king and it gets skewered to it.  What kind of lines can black play against this that are effective?

You brought the queen out early.

You blocked your bishop.

You will be delayed castling.

Youre not attacking anything.

Because it sucks.

Thanks all good reasons

Because the KIA doesnt work well against e5 openings, or at least that is what I have been told.

The beginning of the last game I played it in 10 min Blitz.  I would never try this in a daily chess  game

Looks like a way worse version than the Dracula variation of the Vienna.

It's the drunkula variation!

Sadly, he didn't have to play Ng4.

Maybe White can get away with some kind of d3/g3 setup but it's awfully slow.

It is a KIA.

Look at the games where you've played this line and go to any position post sacrifice. Think "In this position, would  rather have the queen on d2 or the knight on c3. If  could put the queen back on d1 to put the knight on c3, would I?"

it is clearly not the best option,but if followed up by g3 you are in a king's indian attack/ which is reasonable. no advantage for white though

e4 openings are God(GrandMaster) openings and seems to insult the opponent or annihilating him, but the destruction of the center or throwing the game into the open dynamic lines shows a strong reaction against the hidden GM that we pretend to create on silicon chips. So it is a King game, or a direct attack to the King and the queen cannot make short futile moves along the long dynamic open space.
