Really I can see the motor wires being all black because you only wire it once in a while or hardly at all. However all black battery wires?
Isn't that playing with fire?
Like already said, most of us wire the car so the battery can only be plugged in one way. On my car the battery is virtually keyed into place by the negative wire, no chance of crossing wires. On my touring cars I run black wire and just pay attention to which wire is which. It's not for the absent minded.
I've never understood colored motor wires. Middle wire goes in B, always, so figuring out A and C is pretty easy since most ESC's are marked on the case, and it's not like we run our wires so long that you cannot see which wire goes to which terminal.
I wish all accessories (esc's, servo's, etc.) just came with black harnesses as well. So much cleaner.
