Come on now... The parent even included a link detailing it's Nvidia's fault. And that other manufacturers have done a better job.

Exactly, most likely some amount of bureaucracy / subcontractor / cost-cutting yielded this subpar connector.

The linked article gives very good insights in what’s going on.

I'm not saying it's not NVIDIA's fault, but that the spec has been setting companies up for failure, and it's not just NVIDIA who had these cables fail. Rather NVIDIA is the only company actually shipping these cables at scale into the real world to see the extent of the damage.
