Seriously, because fluid steel barrels are rather drab compared to the beautiful pattern of Damascus or even Twist tubes, especially when they were new.
In the early 20th century if one had a choice between fluid and damascus on a Parker, for pure asthetics you would have to have been a fool to buy fluid steel.
