It's very difficult to do chrome and Match grade. Chrome is done to add erosion resistance for the throat of the chamber, and some corrosion resistance to the barrel. To chrome, the barrel is rifled oversized and then plated back to dimension. It's not consistent, and usually results in a 2MOA barrel, which is government spec.
Button or hammerforge a barrel to Match specs, you get a 1/2 MOA barrel. Since it isn't going to shoot full auto or burst much, nothing is lost. Add nitriding, which converts the outer layer of molecules, and you get an extremely wear resistant surface that doesn't change any dimensions - a Match grade barrel becomes full auto resistant.
Depending on the type nitriding done, it can even allow carmakers to replace roller tappets for flat ones. It's that scuff and erosion resistant.
Chrome might be milspec for now, but what the heck, so is 5.56. There are better things out there. Considering the alternative methods and parts out there that are clearly superior, a milspec gun is actually getting to be cheap run of the mill. It gets the job done, it's no longer the ultimate standard, it's the list of minimum quality.
