> The micro-USB connector was designed with these past failings in mind and has a rated lifetime of about 10,000 insertion cycles

I find it hard to believe that. Micro-USB in my experience has been the most unreliable cable type I've ever had. Doesn't matter if it's an expensive one that came with your premium phone or a chinese one from alibaba - something breaks with then within a year of casual use.

It’s the socket that’s rated, not the cable.
