I’m not sure I want to see the Venn diagram of people who would buy this cable, and people who would know they need to do that.

Keep in mind that backfeeding your house won't actually work unless you disconnect from the grid. Your little generator cannot power the whole grid. You'll pop a breaker immediately. So even a total idiot isn't going to electrify the neighborhood (though they could cause serious momentary risk).

I know a couple people who use this approach. They're some of the most electrically savvy people I know. I don't get worked up about it.

They're out there.
