Just spouting off a theory without any actual knowledge. :-)
I was just theorizing that it would probably be simpler and more accurate to
mold the basic nut shape, and then run a threaded tap through it to create
threads. At least it seems to me to be easier to produce it that way, rather
than making an actual threaded mold piece. Unless they molded it in two halves
and then fastened them together - which presents other problems.
It all boils down to me just rambling about the subject.....
