never tie your shoes again

Shoes can stay tied for days at a stretch and be slipped on and off without ever needing retying, so the constraint rarely matters
Slip-on shoes, sandals, or tucked laces are easy workarounds that make shoe tying essentially optional already

never untangle headphone wires again

Headphone wires tangle essentially every time they are stored, making the problem far more frequent than any need to tie shoes
Untangling a badly knotted cord can take many frustrating minutes, while tying a shoe takes seconds - the headphone burden is simply larger
