Some chargers will break the wire near the strain relief from repeated bending. When you plug it in one orientation, the wire bends together completing the circuit. When plugged in the other orientation, the wire separates disconnecting the circuit.

In other words, the charger only works when the cable is bent a certain way. And it’s only bent that way when plugged in in one orientation, not the other.
