The issue I've been having is that for whatever reason the USB-C design seems to have a problem with twisting/tension near the ends in a way the USB-A and any of the USB-B varieties ever did. I've gone through more USB-C cables then I have replaced USB-A/USB-B cables from wear and tear then anything else. I'm not sure if it is the compact nature of the shroud to fit the spec but there seems to be no strain relief in the nature of the design and I'm usually breaking through the insulation in the matter of months and breaking the connector entirely to make it stop working a few months after that. Having to go buy replacement USB cables for things that were not my fault (misplacing or accidents) is just alien to me and premium OEM or the cheapest things seem to fail the same way at the same rate. With the increased actual power being sent through these new connectors and wires it just seems like I'm going to get an unfortunate jolt one of these days.

I would also say that the USB-C ports seem to get dirty in ways that end up affecting how the cable seats for a hours or years it always seemed to be reliable positive connection way more than I've had with other USB types. I haven't really looked at the mechanics of it but the number of times I feel like I've plugged in and gotten positive connection only to find out the connection was loose is way higher than I had with USB-A. With USB-A if you got it into the connector whether it was for an hours or years it always seemed to be reliable and not something to worry about.
