By its description it looks like one..

T-Rex has: strap cutter, glass-breaker, hex-bolt, oxygen bottle and screwdriver tools.

Seems like a lot of real estate with relatively few tools, to me...

I can't figure out what some of the cut outs are for.

Interesting. Does seem like it could be about half that size though.

I think ergonomics played a big role in the design... At least for the strap cutters use

More of a rescue/ERT tool, ain't it? If so, size probably isn't that much of concern.

According to Leatherman, it's a hunk of scrap steel that they thought might make a neat tool. I would imagine that since it's an off cut piece, the size and shape are largely the result of dumb luck rather than any specific design process.
