It actually does cause reliability issues. A common troubleshooting tip for a CCS (Type 1) charge failing to start is to lift up and push in on the handle while the charge is starting to make sure the data pins make good contact for the initial handshake.
I'm sure Ford and GM have some real world reliability metrics around this at this point.
My understanding is this is unique to CCS Type 1 used in North America, which uses an external lever at the top of the connector to latch it to the vehicle. CCS Type 2 used in Europe and elsewhere uses internal latch points where the vehicle locks the connector to the port during charging and doesn't seem to have the same issue.
