The opener only moves the door along the track — the cables are what actually transfer the spring's lifting force down to the bottom corners of the door. When a cable snaps or comes off its drum, that connection is gone on one side or both, so the opener can run all day and the door either won't lift, lifts crooked, or drops back down as soon as it starts. Pressing the button again after that just runs the opener against a door it was never built to move on its own.
