Also USB-C absolutely sucks. The socket seems to attract dirt and dust in a way that prevents its proper working like no other.

I have lots of USB-C devices and never had that problem.
I'm careful with my stuff though.

Phones are very sensitive to it as they are in a pocket.
Pocket lint -> pushed in USB cable -> after some years the connector wont connect anymore

Had lots of phones, always in my pocket, never had that problem.
Actually I just realized I put it in my pocket top-end down. So the usb socket is facing the sky. I suppose that might keep the usb socket further from pocket lint.
The only port I’ve ever experienced this problem with is Lightning.
At least on many iPhone versions, if anything damages one of the delicate lead springs inside the port, Apple service will tell you to replace the entire phone.
I'm the other way around: I just want to carry a UB C cable or two. The cable was designed so wear and damage should accrue to the cable, not the connector in your device.
Magsafe is genuinely a nice innovation that users missed. It solves the cord yank problem. But I do like having the option to use USB-C if I don't have the MagSafe cable.
