Certainly that's the reason a normal gun enthusiast might have one, but various special ops and internal security services have used silencers with a primary goal of avoiding being heard. A more recent example would be the Russian PSS. In general I'd be suspicious of weapons redesigned to be subsonic, as the sonic boom mostly travels sideways and thus doesn't directly affect the shooter in the first place.
