Why no X-stepper cable holder?

So just curious here...

Why is there (apparently) no need for a part to secure the cable to the x-stepper like there is on the bed and the extruder body? There's a securing part on the buddy-end of the cable obviously to keep it protected where it goes through the metal case.

I thought if it moved it would need to be secure? and the motor-end does a bit of flexing. I've seen several models out there; just wondering if they're a good idea or just unnecessary, or even counter productive.

When someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "YES!"

The X stepper cable, and the motor, do not move. But you can secure the cable to the motor. There are printable.Com options.

Yes they do. They move up and down.

My bad! They don’t move much. I added the protector from @BrownDogg04
