Throttle coupling (Rotax)

The carb end of the cable is just a bolt clamping the cable rigidly to 
the arm. As the arm moves through 90 deg. the cable is buckled out of 
line by at least +- 45 deg rel to the rigid horizontal input guide, 
significantly flexing the cable and adding wear at the sheath outlet.
Have I got it wrong or are all the Rotaxes really flying like this ? 
After all the choke is provided with a rotating nipple to avoid this.
