Thank you. If I may, is injection molded plastic not solid plastic? To many potential voids?

It is solid, which is why the wires cannot move. Molding the thing as one unit overtop the electronics is cheaper than making many parts to clamp over them as a box. A solid block is also generally better for strength and thermal.
