Saw some similar junctions recently. Why worry about fireproof enclosures or connectors, when you can use plastic and not need to worry about screwing on a lid.

Conductors don't appear as though they were ever pushed into that box.

Connector blocks wrapped in tape was always the best way for someone to bodge up a job so they could finish early on a Friday (or any other day)

people that don’t care about the quality of their work and are only interested in the payment will always cut corners like that. Wago‘s have just made it a bit easier for that type of person to just “make it work“ so they can go home early
