No matter if I am in my living room, bedroom, or home office, I cannot stand the look of messy cables. In my opinion, they make even the most put-together room look tacky, or messy.
Not only are they ugly to look at, but they often get in the way and can be easily damaged when I catch them or pull them when trying to move tech around. That being said, unless I want to unplug everything after every use (which would be borderline impossible to stay on top of) they have to stay in place.
