Factories use zip ties to secure components already. Gen 3 has reusable ones with a release for holding wires.
Besides, if Velcro is good enough for NASA, zip ties are good enough for us.
I now recommend using the Velcro(Hook and Loop) cable tie material where possible. They come in various widths with similar/greater holding power when wrapped correctly.
They also don't cut every inch of my arms when I'm working.
Just don't use any of them for structural connection. ?

This underscores my point above. This is clearly amateur work... because they are using the white zip ties!
