Is this one of those designs that only exists because of legal restrictions on CA/NY/etc?
You'd think so, it's Illegal in both states lol
Funny enough because it's fead with a stripper clip it could have as many "assault weapon" features you want in New York.
Just might have to get it modified to only accept 10 rounds instead of 13

CA has an approved pistols list that they use as a catch all to keep this kind of stuff out. Would be very funny if it were allowed though, it'd pair perfectly with my Garand.
designing a pistol with a capacity of 8 rounds of .30-06 so the clips are interchangeable with my garand

I think it exists becomes some people are small. Small people often need protection as larger people consider them easy targets for abuse.
If you remove the magazine system a lot of weight can be dropped and the gun made even more slender and light. Using a lower powered round like 380 means it can be lighter than a 9mm version could be and will transfer less energy back to the (small) shooter. Holds more rounds than other subcompacts or wheel guns. In most actual person to person encounters reloading simply does not come up, it's over within the first four rounds.
It's not for going to war or protecting your big bunker, it's for your sister because some guy on her block keeps trying to trap her in an alley and you're not there all the time.
