Why 6.8spc?

Well I started looking into 6.8spc when thinking about doing a new AR build but I have recently decided to go with a 300 fireball instead. Looking into loads and such I do not see why 6.8 spc exists. When looking at a "perfect" setup for the military why in gods name did they not think to mess with the 300 fireball (whisper) platform. I dont see anything that 6.8 does better than 5.56 that 300 does not do and better. 6.8 only has one bullet weight where with 300 you can go supersonic or subsonic. Finally, why would the military build something that needs a new upper when you can do the job better with just a barrel swap.

I am just not getting it, is there any reason to go with a 6.8?
