Yes, I was surprised by that as well. With automated manufacture, perhaps there is less difference in cost between screws and heat stakes than we thought, but it's hard to believe that screws could be less expensive than heat stakes.
Note that many inexpensive calculators from Casio, Sharp, etc. also use screws.
