I totally agree with that, I can't understand why they did it either as the only thing that would be different is that the masked off parts would remain matt in finish as opposed to gloss. But IMHO if you wanted to do it for that reason I would use this protective coating and then paint it afterwards
My suggestion was more this is a way to mask the layer lines more than anything.
