Because that's how Gibson designed 'em.......and so it was the first thing to change when you bought one unless you wanted to wait and replace it the first time you pulled crooked on the cable, or leaned the guitar with the cable plugged in...........'cause they break.

Congrats on your new Paul, btw, it's a beauty. (Be careful of the jackplate, though.)
