Cable elevators

Ok,

Im kind of bewildered by this one.

I'll admit, it certainly adds a nice cosmetic aspect to a stereo.
Ive never seen these for sale in any High end audio places. What is the purpose of these?
Do they make a difference in sound quality?
Are they purely cosmetic?
Do they serve some other practical function unrelated to sound?

I do like how they make everything seem a little bit more organzied.
