I wish more laptops had it. My old work HP laptop's USB-C port started having some play, so my monitor wouldn't always connect properly to it. Bump the desk, and the screen would start to flicker. The same monitor / cable works perfectly on other PCs.

My new HP work laptop has the USB-C port so tight, that whenever I need to unplug the charger, it counts as arm day.

And while I, personally, don't do it all the time, it does happen from time to time that I grab my foot in the power cable and drag the laptop with it. I usually realize it quickly enough to not pull it completely off the desk, but it's the kind of fear I never had with my MBP.

Is MagSafe resistant to wear from connecting and disconnecting?

[vladvasiliu]

It would seem so. The connection is magnetic, so there's not a lot of wear. I only have the older macs (2012 / 2013), where the connector seems fairly securely attached to the case, instead of hanging off the motherboard. Don't know how the newer ones are.

I've never heard of anyone complaining about the connector wearing out or otherwise working less well after a while. What usually happens is that the cable frays around the connector, but I'd say that's not a connector problem, but rather thin plastic without enough tension relief.
