Good quality lacing means the craft will probably be working.

The worst case scenario is a tangle of cables hanging all the tension on one individual cable then apply a nice 9 G load with vibration and it snaps.

Also good lacing in minimal volume which means maximal cooling air flow in general.

Its also important during the building process to keep the rats nest of wiring to a minimum, it can get fairly messy inside spacecraft. Then its also much easier to ensure cabled are kept apart from other signals that could interfere with them.

Depends on if you laced the wire that needs the most cooling deep in the center of the bundle...
