This has been the literal opposite of my experience, I've literally never had a USB-C cable fail, but I throw out at least a dozen broken MicroUSB cables every single year ranging from having the metal plug literally just fall out of the cable to looking brand new yet simply not working to cables that only work if you apply downwards pressure at the connector, I honestly don't think I have a single one that works right now and I replaced every microUSB device I owned as quickly as possible.
