Shooters may stop at 100 yards, the guns don't. Out here in the wide open spaces 100 yards just ain't that dang far and that doesn't change with the gun in your hands. 150 yards? Yep, a little further but not FAR. Practicality isn't some arbitrary distance set by someone at a keyboard. It's set by the gun, the load and the shooter. Just cause you can't/don't do it doesn't mean iit's not practical. Even if 90% of shooters can't/don't do it doesn't make it so.
The .22m from a handgun has no where near the ballistics of the 5.7mm. Again, not even close. Where do people come up with this crap?
Like always, not all guns are great at all things. What's great for zombies may suck for James Bond and what's great for him may suck for Elmer Keith. Truth be told, for milk jugs and playing Bond any gun that works at 25 yards will work at 50 yards will work at 200 yards. Rimfire or centerfire, most handguns will outshoot their owners by a wide, wide margin. Just takes practice and realistic expectations. If you only hit milk jugs 5 outta 10 at 50 then you ain't gonna do better at 200. But practice helps and most people give up well before 100 yards let alone beyond that. Hunting is another story. You not only need the accuracy and ability but you need the power. That means starting with calibers in the .4's with a good dose of powder behind em.
