Is there a pistol that is styled after the Luger P08 / Walther P38 that ISN'T a 22LR?
I love the style of the 22s like the Ruger Mk 3, Browning Buck Mark, but it seems that 9mm or .45 don't exist in this style. Why is that? It seems so strange that guns that are designed after a 9mm Luger would all be 22s...
The ruger is styled after a nambu, just so you know.

They all look pretty similar to me.
I know the 92fs/M9 is styled after the Walther as well, and I like them too but I think these 22s look more Walther-like than the 92fs/M9 do.

The 92FS is pretty much a development of the P38. They basically just extended the slide for a conventional recoil spring, widened the grip for double-stack mags, and eventually added a button mag release. Internally, the P38 and 92 are extremely similar.
As for OP, the whole exposed barrel thing pretty much died out in centerfire pistols after WWII, though it was originally a Germanic sort of trend. The only other pistols you'll find that have it are other pre-war designs like the Lahti.

Yes. Pic related is the AMT Automag I, which was the very first gun to try and bring the power of a magnum revolver to a semi-auto platform. It precedes the Desert Eagle by at least a decade, and, unfortunately, it wasn't a success despite being infinitely more aesthetic.
If you feel the urge to go after one, just keep in mind that it's rare, that it has design flaws that limit its reliability, and that ammunition for it is almost impossible to find unless you load it yourself.

I thought that canvas was sand at first and my butthole clenched.
