The force from the strap (to some extent) counters the force from the
strings.  The strings pull the pegbox in one direction, and
the strap pulls it in more-or-less the opposite direction, so there
is a cancellation effect.

A strap at the pegbox would be much worse if it pulled in
the same direction as the strings.
