This card has the usual Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Nitro+ power-cable connection under its magnetic backplate. The BTF fingers go straight in the mobo. THERE ARE NO FLIPPIN' CABLES to be seen in that mode. If you want the usual connection, the BTF fingers are removable. 
I think WYP is referring to the motherboard they also released when he mentions the cables. It has the BTF slot for the card to hide the graphics power cables, but all the other connectors are on the visible side of the motherboard. So you hide one cable, but all the rest are still visible.

Exactly this. The BTF connector hides it, but the motherboard makes it visible.

The GPU is the one cble that stnds out as messy for most builds. The GPU BTF connector itself makes the most sense, the rest of the BTF idea not so much. Only the 24 pin stands out as me needing to nudge it a bit to look right on the King 95 Ultra build I've sat next to me; and that is only 'cos the build isn't 100% done. I found the GPU connector the only real plus of BTF; the rest is Meh! and whelming to me.
