I don't even think they remove any of the pitting. They just remove any burrs left over from machining and that's it. They did go a step further with the CF Bushwacker Mistress by adding a double cut finish on top of the as-forged finish. That was an effort to remove the decarb layer. I don't know how successful it was.
