What is the point of CNC machined screws? I have only seen that type of thing on specialized military applications and the like.

I'm sure standard rolled screws would be just fine...

Well, it is ambiguous enough of a statement that it could be both. Maybe rolled threads and CNC lathe finish on the head... to make it look nice? Rolled threads are stronger anyway. Zooming in, it does look like there's turning marks on the head of the screws.
