IMO, not humble, its a cynical/conspiracy/paranoia ridden opinion. The
lawyers probably told engineering that a belt drive could hang up a customer
and lead to litigation. So, they designed a direct drive that is enclosed.
The cost is slightly more but the tool company can make more on the
increased profit margin.  Any enhancements to quality are extraneous and
accidental. But I could be wrong.
