Because if you don't re-route the cable, you have to take off the passenger wheel to get at the emergency release. And to get the wheel off, you need the tools and guess where the tools are?

Ah, reading comprehension.

The OP asked about installing a frunk emergency release cable, not re-routing an existing emergency release cable. There's a difference.

Exactly. I need a quick and handy way to get into the battery should I come out to a parking lot and find my car DOA. So removing the tire or bumper in a parking lot without access to tools is where I am coming from. I know the Germans are huge on engineering and design but they were high when it came to this dead battery issue.
