However, some of those pocket .380s have some pretty serious triggers in their own right!

They are not more vulnerable because they are closer to your home.I don't disagree that you should be extremely comfortable with each firearm you carry, but let's be honest, sometimes practical considerations will get in the way of me carrying my 17 round service pistol everywhere I go. When I'm on a 20 mile bike ride or in basketball shorts and a t shirt and need to run out and get something from the walgreens two doors down, I'm not necessarily going to have the practical ability to conceal my standard full size gun. It would be nice to have a reliable backup option to put in a pocket holster and have ready to go when I can't conceal my main CCW.
