I honestly think they suggested it to reduce the Q&A on the topic about whether ropes need to be round in cross section (they do not).

grabbing and climbing any dangling flexible object seems tricky. I like the way they designed this.

I'm surprised. Now with this discovery a team can make a drum winch. Original presentation made us feel we are climbing more like a human would. As you climb you pass the rope through not coil it up.

Yes grabbing the line could still be tricky
