Dennis, you may not expect it but I can assure you it happens. I imagine you are simply getting confused thinking about the force needed to pull a new stud, rather the gradual demise from years of repetitive over tightening and cornering force. As Robert has already brought to your attention the sharp corner is a stress riser, and a nice round one through a thin flange at that. Think about it again inspect a few dozen more hub carriers and perhaps your expectations will change.
