Magsafe protects the laptop. But more directly, it protects physical power port from damage and wear.

The magsafe connection gets pulled out of my Macbook with enough frequency that I know I'd otherwise be slowly bending the power port on a standard DC adapter.

I've never seen a problem with that either. I've seen plenty of wear on the jackets around connectors on cables.
