It's pretty obvious in most situations. In most neatly organized cases I have seen, the wires are all carefully tucked and tied in one place, which makes it even harder to know what goes where, and God forbid if you actually need to remove/replace/add a cable.

This is a largely imaginary problem. I doubt anyone ever did any research to show how much difference it makes, and it would probably be 1-2C difference, tops.

Not really. Dust settles mostly on the fins of the heatsinks, the fans, and the PCBs. Large chunks of dust may be caught on the wires, that's true, but they tend to accumulate at the bottom of the case, and are rather harmless.
All in all, a messy case just doesn't look nice, that is all. Any claims that it affects operation are mostly unsubstantiated. Unless, of course, the mess is extreme as to actually block airflow, or have cables caught on other components / fans.
As I said, all my desktop systems look pretty much like this, and none has had extreme dust issues or any overheating issues at all. I do tie groups of cables in various locations, to prevent them from hanging too loosely or getting in the way. This actually makes it easier to work with if you ever need to add a cable or reroute one, compared to the super-neat cases where everything is tied down with very little flexibility.
