Yes, they may have to do that for the infinitesimally small number of  
purchasers who actually insist on testing the harmonica before they  
buy it.  Or not.  I'd bet not.

"If all the manufacturers begin to bubble pack then, customers may
accept an untested, bubbled harmonicas ..."

I'm going to make the fairly safe (probably massively conservative)  
assumption that well over 90% of all harmonica purchases are already  
made that way.  Certainly mail-order/online orders aren't bellows  
tested by the customer.
