Default why 60-40 solder?

About thirty years ago, I read an article in a motorcycle magazine.The
article was about do not solder up wire connections.Article stated that
vibrations can make those rigid soldered up connections break loose.


So what keeps the connection "connected", if not solder? Are the wires
wrapped around a bolt and nut? That isn't very stable. What about wire nuts
(which are commonly used in household wiring)?
