And how you can buy a P238 that proudly says "SAS" on the side.
It isn't just the P238 that comes in SAS.

And for the record, that has nothing to do with the Special Air Service... it stands for Sig Anti-Snag, and those guns have been dehorned and smoothed out to a greater extent than the "normal" models.

I can understand being miffed at many of their unnecessary models (the diamond plate bit is silly), but not every variant is pointless.

While Sig has had some teething problems with their new models lately (1911, P250, P238), they have managed to get them sorted out and those models are fine now. Other makers have also shown that they have had issues introducing new models (just ask Ruger). Even Glock couldn't revise their "perfect" design without some teething problems. Problem-free would be ideal, but unfortunately that seems to be out of reach nowadays... wait until they get things set to rights, then go for them. Sig seems to have done that after some QC issues.
