I realize having the cord in the wall is against code, but what are the actual dangers? I just don't see how it is different tan being behind a TV console with all the wires bundled up between the console and the wall.

because your insulation and other in-wall materials aren't on the outside of your wall.

ROMEX wire is protected by 2 layers of insulation, with each individual conductor being insulated and the entire bundle also being insulated. This makes insulation failure a rare occurrence and reduces the risk of accidental electrocution and arcing. The plastic used is resistant to moisture and microbes, and is very durable. The plastic sheathing also has a very high melting point thus is heat and flame resistant.
