Not saying it doesn’t have its issues. Just that the particular problem Mark was pointing to is something the usb standard has already solved.
No its just the opposite of the problem everyone else seems to have.
I can find you a reinforced lamp cord if you want, the existence of reinforced cables doesn’t equate to fragility. Reinforced full sized USB cables are available, and noone would argue that they’re less durable then their tiny friends.
Apple’s lightning cables and most 3rd party alternatives have a known habit of failing just behind the plug on the lightning side. I’ve had other sorts of cables fray there, but they remain usable. Its common enough that many people assume its deliberate, given how expensive the apple branded cords are. And that 3rd party ones tend to go for more than identical non-apple cords from the same manufacturer.
