Pretty damn fancy wire, but it doesn't need to be anywhere near that tough
Have you met the general public?
It has to withstand the percussive maintenance of the lowest common denominator

Given the price of Di2 wiring bits
As against the price of a solder station, a hot airgun, some adhesive lined heat shrink, your own time and the downtime every time a solder connection dies from vibration? I'm all for being a hacker, but in most cases is strictly for the lols because the mass produced solution is actually cheaper.

Given the price of Di2 wiring bits, I'm surprised I'm the only one I know of who only bought the minimum number of EW-50s to get plugs for levers and derailers... It's just wire. Pretty damn fancy wire, but it doesn't need to be anywhere near that tough, and waterproofing isn't rocket surgery. The B junction doesn't do anything a couple of blobs of solder can't...
