Of course they use a taper. It's either that or pull the crank and have it welded and re-ground.
Explain all the flywheels and splines that never shook loose and wore out.
No matter what the machine or kind of mechanical joint. If the fastener is over torqued and stretched. Or under torque and lacks clamping force. The parts will be free to move. Even a Briggs flywheel will shake loose if the nut isn’t tightened.
