Perhaps. I personally like the aggravation factor... "Here you are, plenty
of APDS."
"But this is 5.56mm! How do I use this?"
"I dunno, buy an M-16 or something. It's APDS! You want it or not?"

But that's just me. The whole set of rules were intended a la carte:
pick and choose what you want, I won't be offended :) Once you're out of
pistols, there are only three or four calibres to worry about anyway, so
either assumption could be considered valid.
