I generally agree with you, but I believe these particular straps are
"grounded" intentionally ( no paint, etc.....while all the other bolts
are just coincidentally grounded.....but may have paint that could
potentially block the conduction.....)
Since the repair is free to have done under the recall, it's better to
do it than not, if only so that if/when you want to sell the car there
is no outstanding recalls listed for it.

Waste of time.
I know, the 2 shitty sheet metal "arms" (12 cm pot steel with a hole
for a 10mm bolt on each end) are being replaced with concerns about
them rusting, but really - the entire *metal* battery enclosure is
bolted to the *frame* of the Leaf with 10 or 12 *huge* bolts under
high tension, which will connect the battery enclosure to the frame
with *way* more reliability than the two pityful straps at the front
edges of the battery. Often enough I have not even re-installed those
two scraps when I remounted a battery in a car.
But of course the lawyers will tell you otherwise and the
sales/service guys will happily parrot that.
Just my 2 Rubles oh oops, I mean Eurocents or pennies, you choose. I
hope the Ruble will be less worth than a penny soon. Not for the
residents but to disable the power of the leader.
