Yeah, live hinges (that is, plastic bits that intentionally bend, not rotate on pins) are always going to break eventually. They're just so easy to make that it's a trade off that doesn't fall in the consumer's favor.

Living hinges can have lifespan in the millions of cycles with the correct materials and design. I'm sure it's possible to make an Ethernet connector that doesn't break easily, but it would cost more, and people aren't willing to pay.
