Odd for a sealed cartridge hub.
The fact that it has cartridge bearings makes no difference to the preload set-up procedure, or the ability of a factory assembler to have a Friday afternoon moment. Alternative designs such as Novatec make use of the ability of deep-groove cartridges to accept axial loads in both directions to eliminate the preload feature, but the trade off is that there will always bee some end float if both hubshell and axle have fixed locating shoulders for the bearing races, and keeping that end float down to an acceptable limit means the locations of the shoulders have to be held to quite close tolerances.

A few turns with cone spanners and the wheel spins freely. Took almost a full turn to set up without any binding! Odd for a sealed cartridge hub.
