Why? Because there's no accounting for taste, that's why. Ask me, it's kind of a foolish idea. A mag is for ammo, not batteries. But it looks cool, so they sell. I can't see any real LEO problems with it, myself. LEOs, by definition, are armed. The know what a mag is, and what one is not.
Tell you what: I have, over the last decade or so, made some nice pocket change in my spare time making zombie apocalypse "weapons." You know the drill, right? Push a short piece of pipe through the hole in a burnt out circular saw blade, drive a $2 garage sale axe head on to the end. Weld on a Bowie knife blade and a few short pieces of rebar ground to a point on the end sticking out at odd angles, paint it puke green with orange "zombie blood" spatters, shove a piece of garden hose on the end for a "handle," then sell it to an idiot for $350.00. Works like a charm. I have even built a few AR-15 rifles the same way, by adding a fancy curved piece of steel fitted with tac-rail clamps and "sharpened" on the edge, and adding a EO Tech "Zombie" holographic sight on the top-- it's a regular old EO Tech holo sight, except it uses the "bio-hazard" icon for a reticule and costs an extra $200-- and those sell for $3500-5000. It may be art, but what it isn't is weapon. The balance is hideous, they're too heavy, the "steel" in the blades was carefully forged in a Pakistani back yard over a camel dung fire and wouldn't hold an edge with a 5 gallon drum of divine intervention. Nobody but an idiot would even attempt to use anything like that. If you really want an anti-zombie edged weapon, the short sword was perfected in the Greek Xiphos, with a leaf shaped blade for cut-and-thrust, away back in the Bronze Age; and the long sword in the early Iron Age, reaching it's finest expression in the Japanese Katana. Need more range? Copy Goliath's spear out of the Old Testament. But that doesn't look cool. So you have to make it up as you go along.
