That problem is largely solved if you use 8P8C connectors with a rubber boot protecting the latching tab.

You can't tell me that's better than the USB-C connector.

Even HDMI is better.

My MacBook Pro’s USB-C connectors glitch if you move them slightly. I like the data rate but I’m not happy with RAM-pack wobble in 2017.

Even with the protective guard the little plastic tabs inevitably break on me. I can't even say those have fared any better than the unprotected versions.

My main complaint is that the protective rubber often gets stiff as it ages, which can make it pretty dang hard to remove old cables (until you resort to pliers).
