Any chance that leather straps can be gathered from raw leather found in the junk piles?

You can find full pieces of leather, and some leather scraps, but not leather straps. If I have a knife, I would cut the leather into straps, I would be able to pull a piece or 2 out of the scrap leather and make a strap out of it. They can be scavenged, so they are in the piles, why can we not "sort" them from leather?

I have been on now since the update, and there is only 1 player that I have come across that makes them. Don't see leather crafter at all really. Makes the other trade skills rough, due to the huge dependency on leather straps.
