Sometimes you want it to disconnect instead of pull everything down with it if something gets caught on a wire.

Like a cat

I hear you, I just can’t do it. Though all the slack is zip-tied away, albeit messily.

It's like magic. I swear, sometimes it gets in places the instant it's able to. Meowphy's Law.

This is the logic of most ports. It's more expensive to replace the thing the cable is being plugged into than the cable. So you want the cable to fail from force first and leave the hardware undamaged.
