Auto Transmission Dipstick Very Loose

I did a drain & fill with OEM Honda transmission fluid yesterday. All went well, but I noticed that the dipstick for the transmission is really loose fitting. Just curious - is that by design, or has the rubber neck on the dipstick that fits into the transmission shrunk?

Typical issue. A lot of folks have custom attached springs to the dip sticks to keep it secured in place. This goes for the engine oil dip stick as well.
