Because you can search for what connector testing machines look like, and they all look like they'll just destroy the connector if it isn't aligned correctly.

This is true. A test system will only apply force from one or more predefined directions. A user, on the other side will not take care that he inserts the connector at 45 degrees +/- 3 degrees.
