Why does no one make a small 22 or 25?

Other than jiminez and Taurus why does no one make a quality small 22lr? I mean while I don't think they should be extremely popular I do see a place for them. Just something baby browning sized or Colt vest pocket.

NAA does.
The issue with shorty .22 is they can't develop the velocity needed to be an adequate SD gun.
It will work for sure with a lucky shot, but that's it.
That round was designed to be fired in a rifle.
Speer makes a pistol round in .22 WMR that has improved velocity in pistol sized barrel length.

S+W 2213 or 2214, great small .22, and you can use the 10 or 12 round mags from the larger 422/622/2206 models.

Plus there is a threaded adapter readily available to run a can.
