The hot dip blue was cheaper. The P08 was plagued by budget problems from day one, it was simply too expensive to make and all sort of cost cutting measures that could be used, while keeping to the military contracts, were taken. Even the military tried to force Mauser to change the use of steel types more than once. It's all about the money (and the illogical reasoning that exists within military acceptance committees).
