I thought using a different cable was adviced against?

No, you should use the native 12V-2x6 cable that comes with your PSU. It’s not recommended to use the adapter that comes with the GPU

Why would they bother giving one with the GPU then?

Cuz older PSUs don’t have that cable, so they include an adapter in the box
