The grounded (neutral) conductors are not bonded to either the can nor the equipment grounding conductors.

The only thing that I don't like is the bundling of the conductors witht the use of tie wraps and of course the Disney World Mickey Mouse ears on the feeders.

My favorite part...

Oh, so neat.

Yet, Ohhh, so wrong.

Have to give an A on neatness, though.

I doubt it... No one else I know does either.

I agree.
In fact, marking with tape would be just as much of a violation as no identification at all.
Besides, this was not always code required. I know most of you do not like to do "code" so calling it out without knowing the installation date is trivial.

They say tightly bundled wire causes heat buildup. He can work on my panel, but no zap straps, thanks anyway.

Electrical Inspector nailed me 20 years ago for using cable ties in the panel. (Ontario Canada) he said it was not approved due to heating of the conductors. We wired panels for the phone company in that fashion if it was not neat they would have a fit. Believe this or not they even inspected the finish on conduit.
