Mechanical fasteners may or may not remain tight through heat cycling,
freeze/thaw cycles, and possible corrosion which is why they need to be
inspected and potentially touched up periodically. This is a PITA if the
connections are buried as per authoritative guidance. This burial thing
is one of the motivators for wanting to weld the connections.
Can't respond to the material alteration issue as I don't understand
what is meant.

On subject, mechanical fasteners are entirely adequate for grounding and
have the advantage of not permanently altering the material of the legs.
