Is there reason to believe it's not an issue on usb-c? On usb-c the terminals aren't exposed, so even if it did occur you wouldn't notice it.

The cable stops working in one orientation, so I'd expect it to be quite noticeable. There's a few posts in that regard, so I suspect it has the same or similar problems.

Certainly doesn't seem in favor of Lightning cables being any more durable.
