20th century engineers: The worst thing I can possibly imagine is this cable getting disconnected. I would rather the entire thing get ripped apart or pulled off the shelf. Two screws, so it stays tight during combat.

Monitor connectors: "I'll destroy all your hardware before I give up connecting this stuff. You can put as much punishment as you need!"

Disk drivers: "Help! The user sneezed! The disk is lost!"

Look what they need to approximate a fraction of our experience. 😅

D-sub connectors still work fine if you don't screw them in. They were also used in industrial applications where you really didn't want them getting disconnected though.
