Why? Because they are non-critical fasteners. If one of these bolts shears, there's little to no consequence.

I've never had an issue with that, even on a heavily tracked car.
I don't pay much attention to anecdotal information. Not to say you are wrong but even if 100 agree with you it is not enough input to draw a firm conclusion. Extremely easy to make the wrong conclusion. How do you know they are not critical? They hold the reinforcing plate in place. You heavily track an X5?
