Why do you need a screw in choke for the newer style shot such as steel when almost all shot shells have a plastic cup around the shot anyway?

I understand your thinking in this regard as you assume the plastic wade will protect the barrel or its choke. I believe the issue here is that the steel shot will not compress like a softer lead load as it meets the narrowing of the barrel that is outfitted with a full choke. In effect, you are trying to squeeze a load thru a restriction and steel is not going to cooperate. Pressures likely soar with this partial obstruction and you are entering a danger zone. That is the reason for a modified choke with the use of steel.
It is also the reason the Canada Geese are laughing at me at the 60 yard mark.
