    Cable management doesn’t matter if:

    1. You only care if it works
    2. You have the accumulated memories of trillions of prior drones, including the ones who built that mess in the first place, so you already know what each cable does and where it goes.

      I built the mess under my desk, that doesn’t mean I know what the cables do any more.

      A starship would more similar to a mine than a server room. What if the hydraulics pipe is broken and needs replaced, but the electric line and compressed air hose are tangled around it? Even with perfect knowledge and memory it makes the repair last longer.
