There actually are a couple good purposes that they serve.
One is for people who due to some injury can't use a full rifle round for hunting. My brother-in-law injured his shoulder real bad and can't use a rifle round for hunting. Instead he uses either a 9mm or .45 ACP carbine. Both work for dropping white tails.
The second is for interior home defense against multiple intruders. In a chaotic situation the carbines increased ammo capacity can be a benefit. There is also the penetration factor. A 9mm is much less likely to over-penetrate through multiple walls and injure an innocent by-stander. Police in Russia have started to trade their AKMs and AK-74Ms for 9mm Saiga carbines, both semi and full auto versions, for that very reason.
