Neat idea. Leaves me wondering why no one ever came up with one for a two- or four-notch Suntour.
oops... sorry. It is indeed mm per thread. (it's still early.

As for why the idea wasn't more widely used... I don't see the benefit to it. The swaged-on threaded portion just replaces the QR nut that you probably already have in your hand when you pulled the QR out of the hub.
