Well, it's also to do with the case you use, and whether it allows you to do that. Some cases are very tight and wiring behind the rear can be a pain.
Most new cases offer that now, and some motherboards actually have the connectors on the rear too, which really give that clean look.
My case for example, Lian LI 215, has most of the wiring to the back , apart from the connectors. So not totally clean. But most cases offer this now. It's all about aesthetics.

They are simply called "back connect motherboards"

No, it's quite niche, and you pay extra for it. I'm not sure either if all cases could take those back connector mobo's.
It will be the next big trend. But we'll have to wait until the CES show next January and Computex next June for announcements of bigger selections.

MSI Project Zero
Gigabyte Project Stealth
Asus Back-To-the-Future
As said you need to make sure the case is compatible too.
I'd never even heard of this until reading this thread. Now I want it.

Based on this discussion I've realized that I made a big mistake. I wanted a visible led setup and I chose the Lian Li EVO RGB case because of the led strip along the front and side. I added to that mistake by choosing an ASUS X870-A motherboard. The visible wire connections have convinced me of how much of a mistake this was.
Now I realize that a better looking choice would be MSI MAG PANO 100R PZ WHITE case with an ASUS TUF GAMING B850-BTF WIFI motherboard. OUCH! Its gonna cost me over $400 to correct this mistake assuming I can even get the parts. At least the rest of my parts will still be usable and I'll be a lot happier when I look at it.

I decided to go ahead with the newly released ASUS motherboard. These are the main components:
ASUS TUF GAMING B850-BTF WIFI White
G.SKILL TRIDENT Z5 ROYAL NEO Silver
LIAN LI HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C 360CL White
LIAN LI UNI CL Fans 6xReverse 1xNormal White
MSI MAG PANO 100R PZ White
and this is what it turned out looking like:
