Honestly that's part of the reason I bought one, because it's hated by the gun control nuts. It's the same reason why I'm picking up 50 cal guns too!
Really the only thing that isn't great about the 5.7 platform is the ammo situation. All the factory loaded ammo is made by FNH. It's gotten a bit better in the past year because Federal sells it under the american eagle brand too(but it's still made buy FNH right now).
But if it becomes more popular and another maker picks up the ammo that will be a major event. Honestly I think it would be awesome if we just had someone make brass. The bullets can be the same that's used in 5.56, you just need a brass source.
FNH did just release the FiveSeven MK2 recently so supply of the guns is probably a bit short as they ramp up production, but the MK2 has some nice extras. Forward cocking serrations, one piece slide(instead of two piece) and all black controls and better sights. It's not a small gun by any means but it's fun to shoot!
