Why,
because that is just what "they" did.
Perhaps the same reason that the inside of the frame was protected during the rust bluing process?
I don't take pictures of the muzzle of my lugers when documenting them, but a quick look in Still's Weimar Lugers shows several pictures with the muzzle clearly showing polished.
The ones that are not polished are "re-worked" and usually have the 1920 PS added.
Others can weigh in on their observations.
Feel free to post pictures of your 1921 or add a link so we can see it- better yet start a new thread about your question.
