It was a specific design goal of USB-C to put the fragile part on the cable, not on the device.
For people who are not versed in mechanical connector design it might look like the fragile part is that center wafer.
USB-A is massive compared to USB-C, that's why it's so robust, thick plastic, thick metal, wide connector lanes.
If USB-C is fragile, is just because it's so small, you can easily break it with not so much pressure.
