Actually, the original intent of those hoods was to snagproof the locking
tab -- which is of interest to places that have the Web O' Patch Panel
Cables. Think "pull a disconnected cable out of the tangled mess and try
not to break off the locking tab". 8-)
So it's a tradeoff between preserving the RJ45 connector and making it easy
to disconnect.
