rolling machine like this one I think too that since the threaded portion of a steer tube is relatively short it doesn't make sense to roll a short amount, especially if using a mandrel is necessary with thin wall tubing. I also agree that the strength of rolled threads isn't really needed in a headset. The video also explains some of the reasons to use rolled threads and none of them really make sense for steer tubes.
And what's really cool (to me) is that the company in the video you linked is here in Portland, OR. Besides bikes, they make a lot of stuff here still.
