For 10mm you have to go up a frame size, and for some, the grip size of 10mm is too big to fit their hands properly, which in turn results in poorer accuracy.

But if we're basing this on frame size, you could argue that the 9mm/40/357 are all inferior to the 380acp and smaller sized cartridges.

That being said, it definitely has its advantages, such as superior barrier penetration compared to 9mm Luger and even .40 S&W, which made it popular with Highway Patrol units in particular because it offers more straight-line penetration through autoglass, whereas the trajectory of 9mm Luger and .40 S&W tends to deviate more after striking the angled surface of a windshield.

Perhaps, but it seems to have went the way of the 40 S&W, but even worse as far as popularity and resale value.
