Well...perhaps because the addition of an internal high-ohm static bleed
resistor at *any* radio set's antenna connection is trivial yet very good
engineering practice that has no identifiable adverse effects and that
costs essentially nothing.

That's an 'all-win/no-lose' situation to this electrical engineer's eyes. :-)

YMMV
