the problem with bolts is that there is no way to completely stop a bolt from moving. you can tighten it twice a day and the result will be the same. the bolt will slowly and slightly move itself around and either come loose, stretch out of place, wear the surrounding metal and come loose, or oval out the holes it is in.
welds have none of these problems. once welded, things stay in place until the surrounding material fails.
