Why is an electric cord with two plug end (and no ‘outlet’ end) so cursed and could it have a use even if it’s kind of pointless?

The two prongs can easily touch a conductive object when they are not recessed and cause a short circuit. If the plugs are not polarized, they could both be plugged into female sockets crossed over connecting plus to minus and cause a short that way. In a jumble one could mistake the two ends for separate cables. You could carefully use alligator clips which are the same on both ends but are at least color coded.
