Interesting, do you have any more details or links to that connector
specifically?

Might put some heavy restrictions on what what payloads cubesats could
contain, and could affect magnetorquers substantially
between the launcher and the payload. The particular "connector" I saw
demo'd had the "receiver" completely passivated once the "transmitter"
was more than ~20mm distant. So the connector would become a complete
non-issue (aside from parasitic weight) as soon as the payload separated.
