Tables are big and heavy. Imagine the stress placed on the joints when
it is moved from place to place, or loaded with equally heavy objects,
and even climbed upon. Wood screw threads will gradually tear out the
wood, given enough time. With a bolt-washer-nut combination, a little
wearing away of wood under the washer is no problem to fix; just
tighten the nut some more.

That argument misses. A hanger bolt is nothing more than a lag screw with
removable head (nut). Try again.

Tightening the nut is much easier than moving the head on a lag
screwg. Much easier to make fine adjustments on a machine thread
than on a coarse lag screw thread.
