His design is parallel, you’re just seeing it from the wrong perspective.

Your setup runs in series. That’s on point of failure per powered device in the rig.
And if it doesn’t run in series, you really need to explain the wiring on the back of your rig, because I cannot make sense of it otherwise.

I have basically taken a power strip, and made each plug a module.
image the inside of a power strip, like in this image, is in series.
mains → yellow → red → blue → green → blue(end)
If Yellow is broken, it knocks out everything before it.
If what is plugged into yellow is plugged out, or disconnects everything else keeps working.
The same is true for my setup.

I think I understand more now, I just fundamentally don’t understand that zig-zag of joins on the back if the point was better wire management.

Ideally the zig zag isn’t there, but did you see the before?
