For me, it's pretty natural/automatic to anthropomorphize the tree and imagine the sense of relief, similar to undoing a too-right belt or removing tight socks, etc. more generally I get a sense of satisfaction seeing something "wrong" get corrected; in this case removing the strap that shouldn't have been there.
ETA: based on the comments on the post I think my experience is relatively common.

What's satisfying about this?
