needs more ammo
I'm glad I was able to add some humor to your day.
Now, for the other, more serious, folks, answer this honestly:
There's a small, middle-age female walking to her car in the parking lot late at night. She's not a martial artist, wouldn't know how to aggressively use a knife, and only has good situational awareness and a .22 short ready when you try to jump her as she pulls out her keys.
Are you comfortable, knowing she 'only' has a .22 short, in having a go at grabbing her? She'll be at near-contact distance, probably isn't Rob Leatham, and will thus be pointing the gun at you from a couple feet away and dumping the magazine.
If you'd be fine doing that, I imagine you're right; a .22 short is completely useless. If you wouldn't......

I personally know a woman in her 60s that carries a NAA mini revolver in .22LR. She has learned to shoot rattle snakes with it. She also has an LCP and an older S&W lady smith 9mm single stack pistol. She is very good at shooting the S&W one handed, but hates shooting the Ruger LCP.
However, she can be easy to sneak up on. So, if you get the drop on her and get her purse away from her . . . well, I figure criminals may simply assess the situation and take their chances.
Hmmm. Not sure I had a real point other than who knows what gun someone may be carrying? Could be a NAA or something larger?
