I’ll pay a bit extra for a nicely wrapped cable with really good anti-tangle and strain relief properties, because that’s convenient.

And that's exactly what real high quality cable is.

Professional cables are usually flexible, with robust insulation and connectors. They may also be fire rated. Quality control ensures that cables will always be up to specs because people doing the installation have other things to do than dealing with defective cables.

Like most pro stuff, pro cables are not "better", they are cables that won't be a problem.

Sometimes “professional” just means “designed to handle a lot of abuse”.
