Why?

They make poor connections, are difficult or impossible to release the wires, and can cause unsafe connections that could short.

The amount of times I have stabbed myself with a screwdriver trying to release the wire is way too high. I just cut the wires off anymore when replacing an old switch.

Same. If I see them, I replace them with new receptacles and bend the wires like a normal human being.
