why DO I need a chrome barrel/chamber for my home defense AR-15
That is true. But chances of the average Joe shooting enough to see the difference is low. I'd prefer nitrited treatment on the 416r. That would give the case hardening and rust resistance. The plus side of 416r is the machining part of it. Easier to have uniform cuts. But that's all my opinion.Hard chrome is much more durable than any stainless alloy

(What is the) best AR-15 barrel coating?
Nitriding likely is even better than chrome for bores, both mechanically and chemically.
