HK ran a lot cooler than the competition.
Unfortunately their commercial MR556A1 offerings suck. Boat anchor barrels and no chrome. Their excuses for doing this are laughable. Nobody runs a match with a blue label boat anchor barrel. Yes some people don't run chromed barrels... because they run stainless barrels.
Their failure to set up a US factory and crank out 10.4, 14.5 and 16.5 upper receiver kits for anyone with a credit card has cost them millions of dollars and ceded the market to a bunch of fly by night piston AR makers that turn out junk. HK even sent out harassing letters to people that were accidentally allowed to purchase 416 uppers a few years back. Bunch of tin eared kraut d-bags.
