A follow up to the drop out question.

Why are the wheels on fixed gear/track bicycles attached with nutted fasteners rather than quick release type skewers used on road bicycles?

Track/Fixed gear rear wheel attachment seems to be distinctly different from a road,but the front seems to be the same.

Thanks,
