Gear shift boot

Just a Friday thought has me wondering why there isn't a shift boot of some sort (leather or vinyl) on the lower portion of the gear lever. There were on previous versions of the same gear selector design.

I didn't have a cover in either my F25, or my F15. It may just be something they don't do on the X Series models.
