It looks like most of those pictures are 10+ years old. And I imagine some are staged for / by FN. pull the true exif and find some dates. The gun probably does make some sense for some units, like the secret service. But I'm not them, nor am I filling the same role.
Let's compare 5.7 to 300BLK. Both were "new" rounds made to fill a niche, one was not successfull, the other will likely be. Both were "created" by large companies. 5.7 is much like 6.8 in my mind. Neat, but the practical purpose cannot support it, whereas 300BLK makes sense. It offers a new envelope.
All of these 5.7 posts are canned. Just make a 5.7 forum where everyone can gather and talk about how awesome it is, like the keltec forums, scar, ACR, M&P, etc.
Until I see unbiased tests by a lab, I have to believe what I hear from people I trust, mimic what the pros use (why aren't the top Competition shooters using 5.7, no recoil and high capacity are what they want) and practice.
There may be other countries using it, maybe even some US entities, but certainly not more than the AR /5.56. I don't know of any agency that issues a FS pistol, though I haven't looked.
