With due respect and the willingness to possibly be convinced otherwise, I don't agree with you. A splined shaft and coupler should fit together well enough to not require a pin to keep the radial movement in check.
Nope, I believe the pins were utilized to stop the fore and aft movement of the drive shaft.
If the spine fit was loose a pin would soon enough be sheared.
