I would not have bothered if it was my PC. But the system is for someone so I wanted it "like new" so there could be no complaints.
I have never seen anything like it on any retail cards either.
Now when I worked in process control programing Bailey Control Systems (military class electronics, etc.) we had a "hardened" PC in which the PCI expansion cards were secured in a cage with a screwed on bracket running across the top of all of the cards to prevent vibration/shock issues. That was just one of design considerations in that case design..... but that was another life....
