On a clean table it might be not a problem, but if you work in an industrial environment or so, where the notebook maybe just is on a box or on the floor and next to heavy tools. Also if you move the notebook around while plugged in, I think with USB-C you really have to hold and support the cable.

This was true on my 2017 MacBook Pro - the grip force was quite weak on the USB-C ports. But not so much on my M1 MacBook Air (2020), where the ports feel much tighter with more grip.
