Interesting point. I noticed Schiit Audio in particular are very cautious about what they claim their products do. Most of their products are DACs and amps, and have measurable stats and that's fine, but all they are willing to claim about their cables is "These are nice, high-quality cables, with solid reliable connectors. That's it." And for their USB 'Decrapifier' which cleans up the USB signal coming from your computer they write "But some listeners say Wyrd improves the sound of their system. We’re not going to make any such claims."
Maybe they noticed how Red Bull recently lost a lawsuit and had to pay $13,000,000 in compensation because Red Bull does not in fact 'give you wings'.
I wonder if one day some rich lawyer will spend a bucketload of money on a power cord and find that it' doesn't do anything then file a lawsuit against the cable manufacturer. I'm sure I have seen companies claim their power cables improve sound before. Maybe I wasn't reading the descriptions carefully enough to notice that they've thrown in all the buzzwords audiophiles want to hear, but their descriptions don't actually promise anything.
Red Bull actually lost such a lawsuit? That is HILARIOUS.
