Why do they choose oddball calibers that are harder to find should they need to buy some?

The .357 Sig isn't oddball nor is it hard to find... in fact, it was still more available than the other calibers in the recent panic.
Keep in mind, though, the fed.gov buys ammo in large lots (it's what had people up in arms during the panic because they neither understood economies of scale nor exactly what was going on)... when you can order in the millions of rounds at a time there's nothing that's hard to find.
If I called up Federal/ATK, Winchester/Olin, Remington, or anybody else this afternoon with a purchase order for a couple million rounds of anything they'd likely be finding a way to work it into their production schedule.
