They already tried that approach with the G36. It would have worked if they had filled in the backstrap and then reduced the grip like Robar, but they didn't. What they got was a gun with ergonomics slightly better than the G21 but it still wouldn't work for women or men with small hands.
I guess it was easier to invent a whole new cartridge than to redesign the 21 and 36.

Having played with the new Springfield XD in 45ACP I would say that they have gotten that one right.
