Why are H20 and H+ not involved in the reduction reaction of Cl2 to Cl-, while they are for the reduction of MnO4- to Mn2+?

Re: 14.3
Cl2 and Cl- don't have oxygen or hydrogen, so it's simply Cl2 + 2e- --> 2Cl-.
However, for MnO4- to Mn2+, there's the oxygen that is taken to form H2O.
MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- --> Mn2+ + 4H20
