Even a cast steel crank will have better grain structure than one machined from a billet. Not only that but there's no way you'd be able to machine a billet down to the shape of a crank without it distorting. There would need to be a lot of post-machining heat treatment and reshaping of the crank to make it sound, and even then I wouldn't like the chances of it surviving high revs for long.
Also do you even know what 4340 means?
