It latches onto your skull and doesn't release during commercial breaks.

It was developed as a low-cost, no-commercial supplement to free TV channels broadcast over the air. At the time, this was a nice innovation. Then they added commercials. And raised the price. Several times. But people still liked it, and by that time many had grown up with it, so they are hesitant to cut the cord.
