Pretty good chance that the USB-C plug-design will be with us for decades to come. Even if new protocols emerge, they're likely to use the same plug.

When it comes to charging and slow transfers of data, today's USB-C sockets will probably still work.

The next realm of standardization will probably be in the wireless-charging market (where standards are already maturing).

A magnetic attachment and break/away connector would be welcomed over the current usb-c connector. Now you can't have it.
Magnetic breakaway USB-C cables are already a thing.
Remind us in 10 years.
