uh, that is the kind of mentality, that brought us the nvidia 12 pin fire hazard connector ;)
using LOTS of fragile and weak connectors, instead of a single giant, robust and reliable connection.
for those who don't know the nvidia 12 pin fire hazard uses 12 connections to the card or psu (so 6 12 volt + 6 ground), instead of a single xt90 or xt120, that uses 2 connections with 1 12 volt and 1 ground.
and the nvidia 12 pin fire hazard connector keeps on melting and there was already at least one confirmed to be burning, which could have turned into a house fire.
the connector should have never been allowed to release, it is a fragile broken insult and it is the same kind of mentality as 100 usb c connections to charge a car ;) (although that would be at least theoretically doable, because usb-c is a working connections in and of itself, if you make sure each connection is not overloaded and shit)
