RF current tends to flow over the surface of a conductor (skin effect) so thick wire is a waste of copper. A copper or aluminum strap offers a larger surface area and lower resistance to RF.

This is probably a stupid question but can the ground currents on TC
secondary exceed the maximum current output of the neons? Also, why is a
copper strap preffered over a heavy gauge copper ground wire?
