What you see above is the correct engineering solution for the amount of heat this arrangement generates. Fender simply did not do it. My guess is that their factory arrangement would last well past the warranty expiry, so "good enough".
As an engineer, I find this to be galling - financial expediency. <bah>
Fender tube amps from the 1990s and 2000s.
