Connecting fans directly to Molex connectors - standard practice?

Hey, I was going to phone this through but the phone lines are busy therefore I thought I'd just post it here instead

Is it standard practice for PC Specialist builds to have PWM fans wired directly to a Molex plug, that's slotted into an unused connector on the PSU's wiring loom? There's a fan header that's not in use which is uhm, baffling

Hadn't noticed for the last couple of years as the desk has been buried under a desk but when taking it apart, noticed this - and the fact that the fans have been on full chat for the last 2 years of running. Why? 😅

This is a splitter, by the way.
