I don't understand the popularity of the 300ACC Blackout

I can't speak of the 6x45 as I am not familiar with it. Although, if the only part required is a barrel, I might have to do a little research.

I can tell you why the 300 interests me.

Standard bolt, standard capacity in normal 5.56 magazines were big selling points for me. Also, my 300 was put together for the sole purpose of being a short range, CQB type rifle. Just about any shot I would take anywhere in my current urban environment would be under 100 yards or so anyways so the crazy bullet drop at longer distances wasn't a factor for me.

With the heavy, subsonic stuff it would be awesome as a suppressed weapon which I feel was the original purpose behind the round in the AR platform in the first place.

Would I choose it for hunting? No. Would it be my choice for a long range, precision cartridge? Definitely not. Would I use it to take a shot from an upstairs window on a target out in my yard in a SHTF scenario? Most definitely.
