Default Quick question about idle and throttle cable

I just put on some Chromite cables and they didn't come with the little rubber boots that go over the adjustment nut near the grip. Does this matter? Not sure why the boots wouldn't come with it if it was required. Will it hurt if I don't have them?

Been riding that way for years.
No problems and my cables still look new.

Thanks Bro... didn't know if it would cause a performance issue on down the road by not having the rubber boot over it.
