That USB-C port looks very sturdy. See, the connector case is milled into the macbook body. And the connector itself is a separate module that can be replaced with just a right screwdriver.

The issue isn't the entire port breaking, it's the relatively fragile plastic center part inside the port that breaks most often. Breaking that renders the port unusable.
