Because they have been grandfathered in under the law.

Because Grandad simply DID NOT bring the gun in this configuration back from WW2. No gun ever left a Luger factory with a 16" barrel, regardless of family history or lore.
The 16" barrels were produced at the time I mentioned to create a carbine from a 4" barrelled Luger, not to ruin an original Artillery or Navy. It was the only way to create a Carbine cheaply and legally.,
Your mention of the ATF ruling, (which is not news to anybody on this forum), has no bearing on this case.
