    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.
