Yes I have this problem. I would assume it's a problem with all USB ports and it's just phones get charged and moved around more than other devices. Last phone the port was like that but I think USB C is more stable?
I went for the cheap entry level Samsung and it seems pretty much identical to the top line older phone I had but unfortunately doesn't have wireless charging as a backup!
I think cheap leads are a problem, because it can be difficult to buy a genuine charger now, there are so many "fakes". My last lead that I bought from a UK physical store melted while plugged into the car charger port recently, which was a bit of a surprise.
I used to use my phone at the beach quite a lot and found that getting sand in the port would often cause it to stop working. Now I always put it in a waterproof case if I take it there to avoid that.
