What in the HELL was Mossberg thinkin'?!
At least that looks like it was a product of necessity
is it wrong that i might be interested is one if it were .357mag and in the $350 price range?

I believe this would be the creation in question.

Hehe, shamefully, that was my first rifle when they first came out. Yes even before a Mosin. Why, do you ask? Well, if you don't typically like AR's, but still want a high powered home defense carbine, one could argue the lever 30-30 (or 357) was the first one used for CQB. Also if you simply don't have the coin for an AR, that could be the next best thing for a house gun - short, powerful, and ammo available in most stores that sell ammo.
Thankfully, years later I made a bit more money, and figured out that the action was really crap once I cycled a really nice Winchester Lever. So I decided to trade it up for a G17 bedside table gun. Then learned I didn't like the "Glock Hump" after shooting someone's G19, so traded +cash to Lou45 for the Colt HBAR I have today.
Which I still don't shoot anywhere near as much as my older Marlin Lever, or my Mossberg Bolt Rifle that takes my AR mags... If MD didn't say I couldn't have one(this is before it came out that HBAR's were exempt), I probably wouldn't have gotten any AR to fulfill my "one and only rifle" role... So, my AR, sits in the safe, loaded and wet, readily awaiting the apocalypse....
So why buy one? For me it was part of "the journey" of learning bout what I like and don't like...
Oh, and truth be told, although I'd never do it to my cherry Marlin 336, I do still love this thing from Grizzly Custom Guns:

Looks like somethin Mad Max would shoot! If I ever come across a beater lever to convert into one of these, I'm totally getting one built!
