• What does that solve?

    A potential problem of the screw backing itself out.

    I can imagine that plastics are soft enough that they keep the screws in place on their own

    The model in question has metal screw bosses.

      That’s pretty cool. I wish more devices had brass inserts. I kinda hate the idea of screwing into plastic. Anyway, do whatever you feel you need. I don’t think it’d get loose even with daily usage, but I might be wrong.
