My empirical evidence: I've now had to replace two laptop motherboards due to a (mechanically) failed USB-C port.

I have had laptops with only USB-C ports since 2015 and not a single one failed. I also don't know anyone who had a broken USB-C port. There is probably variance between manufacturers.

And variance between users, some people grab the cable and yank it to remove the plug from the socket, for example.
