Does anyone know the purpose of these cables in the trunk?

Pics attached. Does anyone know the purpose of these cables? At first I thought they might be for static discharge because of all of the plastic in the structure, but they seem way too big for that. A magnet sticks to them so they are probably steel, and they look like steel cables. I thought they might be to answer some crash safety concern, like say the trunk lid flying off and making like that decapitating boulder hat from the James Bond movie, but they don’t connect to the structure of the truck - just to the trunk lid.

Jest: Knowing the Ridgeline has something called an anchor cable does bring new use cases to mind. Pulling into a secluded cove and attaching the anchor cable to something to keep the truck from drifting away in the night. ;)

Or in certain cities (can you say Kansas City) your driveway.
