That is actually a intentional design element of the USB-C spec... the connectors are intended to fail in a way where the cable takes the hit, rather than the internal connection. That used to be a big issue with USB-A and -B, the internal connections getting torn off of the boards they were attached to. Cables are cheap to replace, devices are generally expensive to repair (hopefully just disassembly and a soldering iron).
