Glock is behind the times, pure and simple. They were innovators in the beginning, but they have been resting on their laurels and making fistfuls of cash on their reputation for reliability, and their huge following as a result of having such a large part of the police market. No one buys Glock for their recent innovation, and if they do, they are misinformed.

In the mean time, companies like Smith & Wesson have continued innovating. They beat Glock to replaceable backstraps, a normal grip angle, choices in manual safety, and various other features. They came out with the M&P Shield as a natural evolution with regards to the concealed carry movement. In the meantime, Glock came out with the Gen4 pistols, which "catch up" to everyone else in some ways.

The pistol you want will probably be released by Glock eventually. In the meantime, you have the Walther PPS (my personal EDC), the M&P Shield, the Springfield XDs, various Kahr (CW9, etc), and probably others I'm forgetting.
