presumably the variety of materials, manufacturing techniques, joints etc in modern drivetrain components require some kind of opaque finish to not look crappy. painted silver finishes (even expensive processes) tend to look cheap by comparison to actual silver metals, whereas an even black is simple and clean and goes with …. well, everything.
IMO the black ones look better than the various silvers and multiple tones of grey.
