Compare the construction of your average EV charger to, for example, a gas pump. Gas pump nozzles are covered and shaded, they are heavy, all the important parts are steel, theyre designed to make it nearly impossible to leave a cable on the ground, and they're way way over engineered because the public interacts with them. The average EV charger is an uncovered exposed pedestal made out of unreinforced nylon with a barely thought out cable retention or ux incentive to return cables. Like so much in tech its all about image and not engineering and user experience design fundamentals and it shows.
