Sounds like these parents wanted for their kids a smaller, lighter SBR-sized package without the tax stamp and other associated nonsense, and that's the only reason 99% of owners even bought a large-format braced pistol in the first place. What you describe is far more common than you might realize.
I see this from a totally different angle than most folks. I had an AR pistol, it was fun but really not my thing. A lot of the folks I know with braces are parents and those braces are on guns built specifically to allow for a much more manageable firearm for kids to use. That’s the main purpose of the one I have for my contender. Are they making an end run to make firearms more adult-centric knowing that people introduced to guns as a teenager or adult will probably care less about them as an adult and therefore allow the long term game to play out where bans and confiscations are more readily accepted.
