Strange tape over the radiator hose

Opened trunk of my 2014 Maxima and noticed that short braided nylon sleeve over the radiator hose has a ripped side and some adhesive tape over it. Does not look like it suppose to be this way. Can someone comment it? I would appreciate a picture of a "normal" hose.
Thanks!

My 2012 has a similar piece of tape on it. Probably to hold that mesh in place.

Sorry, I could not resist!

That mesh just prevents rubbing damage to the rubber hose. The tape is sort of a ****-poor looking way to secure it in place. but whatever.
