You're being heavily downvoted but this is my experience as well. Even Lightning cables from "alright" brands like Amazon Basics have lots of issues, whereas the only microUSB cables I've had issues with are the really bargain basement stuff that comes bundled with aliexpress junk. It seems the required tolerances for Lightning are way higher (=more expensive). I don't have enough experience with cheap USB-C cables to make generalizations there though.
