I get the feeling that half the problem is just shitty ebay cables. I have been plugging and unplugging apple usb-c cables in to my macbook and ipad for years now with absolutely zero issues. Still has a sharp and solid snap when it locks in to place. But I've absolutely experienced loose and flaky USB-C cables before.

That's probably part of the issue too. I did have to replace the USB port on my Pixel 3a though and even in my Pixel 6 sometimes I have to rotate the plug for it to work. I know that doesn't make any sense but it's what I have to do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
