I hate to say this but I've been an Apple user my entire life and have always had a work and a home Macbook (amongst other machines) and also manage an entire team of Macbook users and we've never had the problem you're describing even once so it seems like either you have really bad luck and have gotten these repeated failures by luck or Apple was right and you're not taking care of these properly. I'm talking over 200 Macbooks over the course of the last 14 years and not a single one has done what you're saying Magsafe, USB-C, or otherwise.

Well, I'm not the only one around me who's faced such problems, and they aren't caused by stress because the cables disintegrate at various points, not just near the MagSafe connector. My guess is that it's humidity at work, since Singapore, unlike Cupertino, is ridiculously humid all year round — whoever sourced the white insulation for MagSafe cables probably didn't test them in high humidity environments.
