Only familiar with smaller bottles than these but welding caps to a tube introduces extra problems hence bottles are made in one piece (a similar deep drawing process to cartridge cases). Welded pressure vessels tend to be restricted to low pressures (100's of psi) or big stuff where it is unavoidable.
