after shooting a bunch of 38 special wad cutters yesterday in my S&W 52 then switching to 22 I wondered why nobody makes wad cutters in 22. I'd much prefer a nice round hole

It seemed it would work OK if you just used them in a revolver. Running them through semi-autos would be problematical though. Personally I've had to many choke on standard hollow points. Wadcutters are not likely to function at all, in some semi-autos.
Shoot your 52 @ 75 yards and get back to us w/ a range report.
He retired from shooting in 1973 and was 65 + years old at that time.
The answer is that lots of different types of 22s use shouldered bullets that punch perfect round holes. . .so long as you're actually using real targets.
Good targets are constructed from long-fiber soft paper that makes it easy for bullets to punch nice round holes.
