The 'surplus material' is only surplus if you don't want it. They had the extra not because they couldn't be bothered to remove it but so it could be trimmed or not as the rider liked.
My Tommasini has uncut LA84's that are track version and have even more surplus material than monoglazes uncut example.

LA84 is easily the best bullhorn in the history of the universe, but they left the factory with a good 3" of surplus material on the ends.
