If you learn a bit more about cars you'll find there are lots of old
cars with no provision for a battery clamp. They tend to be prized
rather than called silly. I have no problem with having driven some
pieces of history, and far from your assertion that such is a danger,
classic cars in fact have a better safety record on the road than
modern
ones. It appears that paradox and its explanation are things you know
nothing about.

Please give an actual example of a production car supplied with no
battery
clamp. Should be very easy for you since they are so common in your
experience.

Lada Riva. Commer walkthrough.

The Lada Riva battery was secured by J bolts and a bit of pressed angle
steel with two nuts.

Here is a picture of the engine bay of one:

That is a quite recent Lada Riva tho.

So, any examples of a production car with no battery clamping arrangements
as standard (as opposed to just left off)?

A loose battery in a car represents real and significant danger.
