I think most of it is because so much, even the MI market, is moving to
powered speakers. But yeah, it does mean managing power cables.

Yep, always been surprised why most people think power cables are
somehow less of a problem than speaker cables.
IMO the main advantage of powered speakers is in the crossover if they
use separate amps for each driver. One disadvantage is hoisting the
extra weight onto speaker stands.

... and there are the combined power/audio cables that means only one
cable to each speaker.
