Not sure how much good that wire did but there was a bit of an art to put it in and make it look good and actually look like it could function as intended. Can't really recall taking something apart and finding a loose bolt with wire holding it in place.Do you remember drilled bolt heads and the tie wire? Glad I never bought one of those “special” pliers for that.
As for the cotter keys I felt at least the ones that had the "bulge" part way down them that you had to tap into the hole was a good attempt to keep them from rattling and breaking.
