What's With These BB's

A couple weeks ago Albertsons had BabyBacks for $1.99/lb. They were store-wrapped and a package had 3 what appeared to be 3/4 racks (12" long). I bought a package and put them in the freezer. I took them out to smoke this weekend and when I went to prep them, they had no membrane! Can you meat cutters out there tell me what's with this?

I am not a butcher but I have purchased baby backs before and have had some of them skinned. Always thought that during the process of trimming them that some butcher just saw a membrane that was an easy pull and just did it.
 
My experience with BB's (been a while) has always been a 50/50 shot whether or not the butcher already removed the membrane. I've found more often than not when I bought a 3-pack of BB's in cryo, that one of the 3 racks would have the membrane already removed.
 
Why is that a problem
