Regurgitating the formula for calculating the force doesn't explain 'why' it happens at all. You're just restating an observation.

If you walk up too a stranger and start speaking tangents at them, they are going to tell you to fuck off. The 'why' is much simpler. When there is small angle between the anchors, the anchors are exerting force in the same direction (almost). When the angle is great, they exert more and more of that force on the opposite anchor.
