Why does nobody talk about putting labels on both ends of long cables

I spent a whole Saturday afternoon last month untangling the mess behind my TV stand in Austin, and the culprit was a 15 foot HDMI cable that looked identical to my ethernet cord. I kept pulling the wrong one and yanking my soundbar off its shelf, which was honestly hilarious after the third time. So I grabbed my label maker and put tiny tags on both ends of every cord over 6 feet, plus a color dot system for the power bricks. Has anyone else tried this or do you just suffer through the guessing game every time you need to unplug something?

Tbh that just ruins the fun of playing cable roulette every time.
