Are you saying they're mistakenly reenforcing the parts that DON'T cause total failure?

    I'm saying the only ones left are the super durable ones. All the weak/failed ones are gone. There were plenty of these cables that fell apart that we don't remember that aren't around today because they went in the trash. I remember several such cables in my own house growing up.

    They also received far more abuse than usb cables. We don't generally anchor one end of a usb cable and then walk around erratically for hours everyday within the range of the cable (and now and then pushing it) with the device on the other end of the cable.

    Those cables _were_engineered for more abuse.
