Why a hanger bolt on corner braces, rather than screws?

They all show attaching to the legs with hanger bolts. That seems like a
lot of trouble; why not just use screws? I will never (hopefully) be taking
it apart, which seems to be the only reason for the hanger bolts.
But, it is my first big table and maybe there is a good reason I am not
seeing. Thanks.
Easier to adjust for seasonal expansion and contraction?
