I'll answer that with a question for you. When you think about it,
you'll understand why. Here it is....

Why do they now put bolts through the clamps to stop things breaking?
If there was no design fault, then this was an unnecessary and extra
cost change to the design. Manufacturers don't do that no matter what
the product is.

Also, have you looked at the clamps that hold the linear loading wire?
That was a poor choice of materials.
