  Comments:
I agree. I think they all should be regarded as なぜ.
BTW, in its 何故/なにゆえ entry 中辞典 has an example sentence with なにゆえ in kana.

  Comments:
I don't think we can. In a lot of of the 何故 sentences, なにゆえ would sound unnatural.
I assume that all of the 何故s in the Tanaka Corpus are meant to be read なぜ but we could reserve a couple of the more formal-sounding sentences for なにゆえ.

Tatoeba sentences:
  "何故{なぜ}" (295 results)
  "何故 " (27 results)

I guess we could replace "何故{なぜ}" with "何故(なぜ){なぜ}" and "何故 " with "何故(なにゆえ) "

なにゆえ isn't uk. I'll split it out.
