Yes, but this is the only time I've ever seen raw wire ends left exposed to the elements in clear view in an engine bay.

Toyota's solution? Put a connector there, then put a dummy mating connector on the other side so the wiring there does not corrode. This is also the solution for just about everyone in the world - except the American makers.

They do NOT just leave raw wire ends dangling in space.

I was an auto dealer for several years and all I can tell you is that you haven't looked under a lot of auto hoods. If they aren't being used they aren't being used. It's the same on all auto's look under the dash and see how many unused wire's you find. It's silly for you to bring up something so juvenile anyway.
