Two main reasons to consider:
1) Manufacturers rarely include a perfect mouthpiece (and reeds), and the right barrel would connect your perfect mouthpiece to (their) clarinet.
2) Barrels are most affected by moisture etc, so their dimensions are most prone to change.


I very much agree both about ringless barrels (cleaner less muffled sound, I would say) and getting your barrel crafted for you by an expert.
