I can tell you why. The quick-attach can SLIP far too easily. Happened
on my Babystay when I cranked the backstay. When I let off the backstay,
the previously firmly tightened babystay was flopping around. The wire
goes straight into the fitting with no bends or "spread out" of the
strands like the sta-lok. What makes them so easy to use, also makes
them prone to letting the cable move, or even pull out.

I looked it up, the quick attach fittings are no longer advised for
standing rigging though I can't understand why. And I was wrong they
won't work with rod but WILL work with all other types of wire.
