Yes, Cheddar explains the popularity of the Cable-Stay Bridge in a vlog you can get to through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first–after a mention of the free mining-software (giving us free Bitcoin in exchange for energy we're wasting anyway)–I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The Cable-Stay Bridge is a bridge that is #Stayed (Held up) by #Cables extended Directly from the bridge's Main-Towers.
The word “Cables” is built on ancient words that mean "|Lasso, Rope, |Halter for Cattle, Large Strong Rope or Chain Used on a Ship" (sense shifted from Nautical to Telecom with Technological Advances like Telegraphy, Traction-Railroads, Telephone, Television, etc.; which referred to 'Rope made of Wire (not Hemp or Fiber)).

The word “Stayed” (another C.A.N.O.E.-entry, originally referring to the Strong Rope that Supported a Ship's |Mast) is built on ancient words that mean "to Stand, make or be Firm" (also a legal term for 'Delay-, Postponement- or Suspension of Judicial Proceedings').
