True, but to design a barrel for a gun is way more difficult. Even now you can have a barrel made from a metal shop (or with a relatively cheap cnc mill) if you really want.
You think we are at a endpoint with 3d printing technology? As technology improves the ability to make better parts will keep increasing.
You are right, it is about control.
