I agree the word "smooth" is subjective. My experience as a sheetmetal worker by trade and galvanized metal is it is porus and hard to clean the soap scum and bacteria off the surface. Similar to why you can't use galvanized sheets on kitchen walls or around urinals. It is a health issue

Now a lot of soap products and cleaners have changed over the last 30 years and maybe it is not as big of a problem today.
