Default Torque arm + DS loop

Why hasn't anyone made a torque arm with a driveshaft loop that can be bolted on to it? Seems like it would be a good idea for the guys that have x pipes and turndowns that have to use a long TQ arm. The driveshaft and torque arm move in the same plane since they are both mounted to the rear end.

For those that don't have their torque arm relocated and if the driveshaft were to snap, it'd probably force the torque arm so much that it breaks the tail shaft of the trans as well.

There is no real force applied outword, the driveshaft will spin in place after the initial snap. The upword pressure applied to the driveshaft from the rear end naturally wanting to rotate won't apply more than what the torque arm is already recieving.
