This connector seems like such a nightmare. I don’t understand why GPUs are using it.

First of all NVidia are morons. Morons who don't accept their own mistakes and have pushed it on to all other custom design manufacturers since the 50 (or even already 40?) series.

AMD is also stupid, but not as braindead as NVidia. That's why there are only a baby's handful of AMD GPUs with 12VHBRN, while most have 2-3x 8-Pin (75W+300..450W = 375..525W).

Get one of the latter and a 180° Bridge/WireView. Then you can route your cables just as cleanly.

The connector was introduced with the RTX 4090.

Also part of the problem is that Nvidia has been unable to make significant improvements to their architecture in years, so their only way to make their cards more capable each generation is to just throw more power at it
