They've got the best kind of connector I've seen[1], with soldered joints on both sides of the board and a little wrap around, but it's still not as solid long-term as the USB-A keys. Over time the solder will start to crack. It also requires a much thinner board, so it's fragile because of that.
With a high-quality product like a 2factor key, this may not be an issue. But wifi/bluetooth/SDR dongles and adapters get made to much lower standards and with cheaper solder. Cheap solder is far more prone to degradation.
