If you really wanted to nitpick, you could also point out non-driven wheels on cars. Such a wheel doesn’t turn anything useful itself (it is turned but does not turn anything), but it still successfully prevents one end of a vehicle from dragging on the ground, which is its actual purpose. But we’re merely amusing ourselves with literalistic counter-examples at this point, as I see you are well aware.
