Lightweight.
Even if I did loose cogs would be way cheaper than freewheels

White industries hubs are splined as well.

Shimano splines would work like crap in comparison. They are too shallow. If you integrated them into an aluminum hub body you would destroy them. They would have to be replaceable or steel. If you want to use an off the shelf cog campagnolo would be much better.


edit:
this is why shimano splines suck. there is not nearly enough material for loose or single cogs. they worked fine in the days of steel bodys but we have progressed beyond that.



shimano freehubs are one of the worst standards/interfaces in cycling. campagnolo splines hold up to individual cogs just fine:
