I've heard from modern day muzzle loader shooters who shoot saboted bullets that plastic fouling\buildup is a problem, and cleaning it is a PITA. Rifling in the barrel probably contributes to this.
Speculatively, chrome plated shotgun barrels may be smoother and\or have less of an affinity for plastic fouling? If so, opening up a choke and removing the chrome plating may create a place where plastic from shot cups could build up?
I would not let that stop me from making the chokes what I wanted them to be, but there may be an added step to remove plastic fouling after a lot of shooting. Just a theory at this point.
