Specifically, carbon composition parts are both non-metallic and non-inductive. Carbon film parts are spiral trimmed, which introduces inductance. Small amounts of inductance MATTER at RF.

There is 1st hand experience of metal oxide parts, which can sound like guano, working well at RF. See the AVA article on FM-3 tuner care.
