I immediately thought of the magnetic charging as well before getting to your second paragraph.

One other concern I’d have with wired charging in the car long-term is wear and tear on the USB port and the cable over time (also considering the cable is likely being left in a sometimes very hot car).

I leave the cable always plugged in on the car side, so I'm not worried about that port failing. I'm just not that worried about the port on the phone, though.

And if the cable dies, they're simple and cheap to replace.
