This was true of the first revision of Mini-USB, I'm told, but not subsequent revisions. The wearing components were moved to the cable while retaining compatibility with the older design.
The rumor of socket-side wear persisted well after the design change (all the way up to today, as evidenced by your comment, and many others) so Micro-USB was created to work around the confusion regarding Mini-USB entirely by simply creating a new connector.
