Default No cable guard bows!

Why is it that most all bow companies have not yet come up with a no cable guard system? I call the Matthews and Bear/Jennings types of roller arms and rollers still a cable guard.

Still, of all the compound bows I have ever owned, the Oneida bows are still the smoothest torque free bows. Martin has the Nitrous X system that does away with a cable guard. A buddy of mine placed 1st in a state sanctioned shoot with his own homemade split cable system years ago with a High Country. I've never liked cable guards, and knew they were not necessary with the much older, wider wheels. I've never shot the Martin system but I am going to try one out soon. In my opinion shooting through the cables and with no or very little sideway pressure on the cables would promote greater accuracy, more speed, and less torque. What say you to telling all the manufacturers to come up with a no cable guard system? With the new technology we have today they should be able too!
