So, tell this ignorant, backyard mechanic, what's the reason for the special bolts? There's gotta be a reason.

It's physics. To dish the flywheel enough to clear thick heads, it would have to be much thicker. More $$$ and more weight. To keep the whole assembly compact as possible, shallow headed bolts are used, and have been for 90+ years.
