I'm not trying to suggest that this is the answer/reason for your particular anecdote but it could have nothing to do with USB-C itself and simply be unnecessary physical wear put on by the user. I think you can find anecdotes in either direction for this particular case.
- __d 6y agoIMO, all connectors have issues, some more, some less. USB-A has proven remarkably good, despite the "insert 3-times" problem, and it's now fairly large size. Lightning is ok -- I have found that cables lose their "snap in" ness after a while, the arcing limits the connector lifetime, and I've snapped the tongue off a few (cheap) cables. USB-B Micro has been pretty good for me, despite the "insert 5 times" problem. USB-C has advantages of "insert-once", and smaller size, but (in my one-off anecdata) can have issues with losing its snug-ness over time. I thought it was notable, since it was with a MacBook -- so not something badly engineered, or cheap, or whatever. I guess my view is that it's not a panacea, and arguably, on a par with things it's replacing.
