Ya I would have caught the centre phase on the eye bolt as well, but what ever. I am surprised you strung in copper, I didn't think anybody strung in copper anymore due to the cost.
there's a good chance that they're just covering their ass for if weird wind conditions occur that somehow get the twisty hook to detach from the bar. By using the manufacturer matched or specified hardware (the metal strip) they can then lay responsibility on the manufacturer.
There's also the possibility that they trust a flat piece of metal more than an eyebolt for the strains that might potentially stress an eyebolt where the eye makes the transition to the threaded section.
