I would argue precisely the opposite, that 16" can really share the best of both worlds if done right.
A handy 18" that shoots smoothly is probably more closely related to 3-gun rifles, but would still be great at other stuff. As far as a niche worth developing a product for, I would argue not - maybe fluting an existing barrel contour could work if the market supports it, but an intermediate gassed medium contour 16" and good ammunition can do the same thing quite well, and my ban-state type 14.5" Middy with pinned MB uppers go even farther on being lightweight, with the A5 system on the back the time back on target between shots is as much a function of the fact that the rifle is 6# as it is the gas system.
