QR standing for Quick Replacement.
So now we go to a Guy called..... Robert !
But then you need to carry a 6mm Allen, just to get the wheels off the bike.
Oh and a Torque wrench to put them back on.
However, I much rather have the wheels come off, only when I want them to come off.
TLDR;
So yes, we bolt our wheels on, but the bolt did get a fancy name.

No need for an Allen key on any of my through axles bikes. They all have levers, hidden on the Canyon.
