I believe one of the very first red dot sights I remember seeing (decades ago) was a C-More (?) that “popped up” when the pistol was withdrawn from the holster.
Why seems obvious, it removes some of the additional height added to the gun by an optic until the gun is drawn.
Also adds complexity and inherent failures from additional moving parts.
Not prone to jump on “new” technology, I’m still trying to understand the why of tritium night sights, you can’t see the glow unless it’s dark enough that you’ll have difficulty identifying the target.
But they do make it easy to locate your nightstand gun and its orientation in a dark room.
