I would say economy of materials is more likely than ease of manufacture...With a 90º cut, there is less waste of the tubing...

You could probably measure the two different cuts and figure out how many magazines could be cut from a 5' magazine tube...and there would probably be one more mag using the 90º cut than the angled cut...

...Hypothetically speaking...
