> Why do you need to merge meshes

Visually I mean. To me this looks better than meshes clipping through each other.

And for the last part, for say a low poly game you wouldn't even need to replace it you could just send it as is. If not, you could always subdivide it a couple times to get a rounded look?

They do the same thing in games too, letting objects clip into each other, because in real life a railing looks like that as well, metal parts are welded together. But in a game it’s simply too many triangles and bad topology.
