I hadn't realized that and I'm a little mystified by it. I don't
understand the rationale behind a design that allows potential chewed
up gear shards to reach engine bearings. It makes sense for race bike
applications but it seems inadvisable for street machines.
The marketplace has deemed it to be a valid concept so I guess it is.
My Kawasaki had a very strong magnet in the drain plug. When the oil was
dumped, the plug had to be cleaned of filings.
It seemed like an odd way to keep filings from the engine.

Considering how many times I've pulled drain plugs and found bunched
whiskers of metal shavings, I'd say it's rather effective! ;-)
