I wonder if the extra length helps reduce the stiff feel they can have.
it is ugly, but if it works I would forgive that

”This is achieved by the basic geometry of the RTO design; the position of the main pivot in relationship to the strings and springs. Basically, most all of the pressure and tension is evenly distributed on its main pivot. In the main pivot, RTO uses the finest, strongest, frictionless bearings available, helping to achieve this end result.
String breakage is negated and the same principal of design achieves tune-stability. As the string enters the tremolo, it first passes across a brass roller riding on hardened steel pins. Next it goes under the grooved brass roller with it own individual shielded ball bearing that rides on the “Hold-down” pin. Next it again rides in a brass groove, up and over the main pivot. Then the string rides on the top of the rocker exiting down an angled hole where there is a recessed hole for the ball end of the string. What this accomplishes for reducing string breakage and tune-stability is really a great thing. Picture the string routing in the tremolo as described. When the springs pull tight on the tension of the strings, it accomplished two main things. One, it pulls down and stretches the strings to one stable point, tightly on the string finger rollers, against the hold-down roller, against and over the main pivot, against the forward portion of the rocker, against the downward hole drilled in the rocker where the ball end of the string is positioned and then tight against the ball end of the string, all points tightly held; it literally pulls down and stretches to one final point. That is the nature of the RTO's tune-stability.”

And that sounds like it was tweeted by Donald Trump.
And in a kinda weird way I like it too!
