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

Tables that I have seen still have the aprons mortised into the legs;
all the hanger bolt does is fasten the corner brace to reinforce the joint.


I've never seen the aprons mortised into the legs when corner braces are
used. The corner braces hold the legs against the butt ends of the
apron under tension.
