The issue isn't just the shape of the thread root but the rolling process forms the grain stucture of the metal as opposed to interrupting it as a cut thread does.
As comment, they did experiment with press in studs on the CMP wheels and found that the wheel material was too thin to properly hold the studs (hard to believe when we see how heavy the CMP wheels are compared to modern, but they ran tests and had failures...) so they found they had to keep the welded in studs.
