They are.

In terms of “induced magnetic fields” the current flowing through the wires is very small. But not 0.

It is significant enough to be observed if you come up with a creative test.

But not significant enough to be observed in most conditions.

The inverse square law governs the strength of magnetic fields, and has a lot to do with it.
