Common SENSE tells me if you have A certain size barrel and you remove strips of metal from it how could anyone think it strengthens it.

stronger v. barrel of the same weight, not of the same diameter without flutes. I believe it probably does.
I agree it is marketing ploy. The cost to benefit is almost nothing. You could add all kinds of other features to your rifle before this made much sense from a performance standpoint. From a looks standpoint? Cherry stock, then a fluted barrel. Lets see how many people dislike my cherry stock.
