Why no Grip Department category

Does anybody else find it strange that there is no classification for the Grip Department in the crew listing on a Film or TV Show? The Grips are found in a category of Camera and Electric. While Grips work closely with the Camera and Electric departments, they are a separate and well recognized department. I don't think IMDB can be looked at as an Industry Standard when they don't seem to understand the basic differences in Departments. The heading of that classification could simply be Camera, Electric, and Grip Departments. I am very surprised that they can't make a simple, accurate change to an obvious oversight.

Hi Everyone! I’m excited to share that we've just launched 12 new credit categories on IMDb, including dedicated sections for Choreography, Color Department, Voice Actor - Dubbing, and more! You can now contribute credits under these categories and they are now displayed under dedicated section headings across IMDb, IMDbPro web, and apps. For complete details about these changes, please see our New Credit Categories and Professions announcement post here: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/introducing-new-credit-categories-and-professions/690a2e48297bb2308a6501e9 While Grip Department is not yet included as a new credit category, I encourage you to make that request on the announcement post. We welcome your questions and feedback there!
