Can't speak for them, but if it were my design, the adjustment would be there
to provide a stop to keep the throttle plates from getting "wedged" in the
closed position. The adjustment is sufficiently sensitive that a molded-in
potmetal boss wouldn't be accurate enough, and would provide no ability to
adjust to compensate for wear.
On a carb with adjustable bypass for idle, those screws should be adjusted to
let the plates ("butterflies") close as much as possible, short of sticking.
