Ruger builds heavy revolvers that are built to take use, even abuse, and withstand powerful loads without having to have a "longevity package" or be reworked by the factory every few years. Yes, to do that, they have to be heavier and heavier built, but many people would rather carry a few extra ounces and be assured that they can shoot as many heavy magnum loads as they'd like through their gun without problems.
That's Ruger's market niche. They don't see the need to go after the "light, small, concealable gun offered in every caliber imaginable" market, because they have their own market - affordable, heavy-caliber guns that are extremely durable. Their autos are also very affordable, and very durable, although they seem like they'd make better police duty guns than anything else because they're difficult to conceal.
