Why magnetizing is present only on one side of flexible holder?

Why in “iFixit 64 Bit Driver Kit” magnetizing is present only on one side of flexible holder? It is missing on side on which you attach selected bit, which makes them fall out when moved to more horizontal position.

This is what I am talking about. The head is aluminum. There is no magnetism on that side. If you need to, use an aftermarket bit magnetizer.

If you are referring to the drive extension on the Pro Tech Toolkit, or the Mahi Driver kit, the end of the extension is aluminum (not magnetic). Push the bit into the extension all the way to hold it in place. If you need magnetism on the extension, use an aftermarket bit magnetizer, as pictured below.
