I think it had more to do with marketing by the gun company's, twist steel was harder to find, more expensive to make/import. Fluid steel barrels were for the most part local, cheaper to make, but didn't have the handsome patterns. So to sell plane steel, the "old" damascus had to be less, either strong or?
