I disagree. The main problem is:
1. the screws are made of very soft metal. Substandard, you might say.
2. the factory puts them in really tight.
I did my carb when the bike was fairly new and half the bolts needed some assistance to come out. Using antiseize on bolts is always a good idea. I typically just oil them up with my oilgun.
Corrosion is a problem for bikes ridden in the rain or stored outside.
