Go on then, I'll bite... why?

Because there are so many Wings, and so many Wongs, that you might wing the wong number.

Pah! That was old when bows and arrows were on the secrets list.

I would definitely prefer a properly designed cleat with holes right through for bolting.

To be fair the one I'm on about was a round based cleat - normally these would be secured with 4 bolts and a spreader plate underneath but sometimes they have a central thread in them - it was that type that broke.

Not quite the same as the one faffer has pictured.
