In product development there are engineers and there are designers. Engineers make sure a product works and designers make sure people enjoy using the product. Charging cables are usually bought “off the shelf” to accompany products since they are regulated and not considered necessary to redesign with every new product design. Since power cables are often overlooked as contributing to a user experience they are often not designed in a user friendly manner.
