Signal loss vs power loss

Looking at the back of a data projector the other day, I had a thought. We have screws to secure the signal cable, but the power cord is held in only by friction. If both cords are bumped, you'll lose power but not the signal, which seems like protecting the wrong thing. And this is true of all computer equipment. Does that seem right to you?

PS - It seems a bit wrong to me.
PPS - Signal loss is much less serious than power loss.
