Do people still care about cable management in gaming setups or is it mostly for photos?

This is something we’ve noticed a lot while looking at different gaming and workstation setups online.

Some people spend a huge amount of time organizing cables, using sleeves, routing kits, under-desk trays, and trying to keep everything as clean as possible. Others feel that once the setup is actually being used daily, cable management becomes less important as long as functionality is fine.

For those who invested time into proper cable management, did it actually improve your experience in any practical way?
Things like easier cleaning, better airflow, comfort, or overall productivity?

Or does it mostly end up being something that looks great in setup photos but matters less during real-world use?

Would be interesting to hear how much importance people actually give to it over time.
