I'm surprised that the Husky didn't have heat-shrink covering the tag-ends of the rudder control cable, where it sticks out of the nicopress sleeve. Do they coat it in resin or something else? Hard to see that in the photo.

I like the way heat shrink tubing provides a nice finished look. However, there is an argument that due to the voids and flexing of cables, moisture can't be kept out, and the heat shrink tubing will inhibit drying of the moisture. We know that's not good.

The cable should be filled with grease anyway, to prevent it's own strands from rubbing on other strands? Trapping the grease in seems like a good thing.
I don't like spragging myself on the cut end of the cable.

I sure agree on that. I generally invest more time (and sometimes tossed out cables) to clean cut the cable accurately before swaging so I can have shorter stub that doesn't tend to catch or get ratty.
