to prevent chaffing. just like why we have to staple romex within a certain
number of inches from a box. Both rediculous unnecessary rules. I guess
frequent earthquakes could rub the wires over a couple centuries.

Earthquakes are much too large a movement to worry about. Ordinary
mechanical vibration can be enough to cause long runs of wire or pipe to
chafe, e.g. the regular shaking from a washing machine's spin cycle.
