I’ve been using the Apple usb C hub for 2 years now attaching attaching and detaching 4 times a day and it’s still just as grippy as day one.

Which Apple usb c hub are you referring to? The multiport adapter?

Yeah, the "USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter". I have zero concerns about the lifespan of the USB connector.

I think the parent means losing the magnetic surface dock connector from the new dock, rather than losing magnetic attraction over time. They may way to clarify though.
