I assume you mean USB C? You are welcome to feel that subjectively, you have to baby your devices because that fragile connector is “good enough”, but personally, it seems really ridiculous and you couldn’t be more wrong about “absolutely no care”. In fact, something as simple as dropping the device while the cable is plugged in, can easily damage it, and I don’t mean from some great height onto concrete, I mean a small drop which the device would otherwise survive. Products that cost hundreds of dollars should not be this fragile.
Are you seriously trying to suggest that mobile products should not survive the shock that comes from something as common as dropping them? We have completely different concepts of good engineering if we disagree about this.
Merely making the port larger, yet otherwise similar, does make it more robust. To use that word “magic” tells me you chose words poorly. There’s nothing at all magic about making something mechanical, larger to bear a larger force against it. It is true of the hinge on your refrigerator, the bolts on your car, your arms and legs, just about anywhere you look, if something has a mechanical weakness then it can be improved by strengthening this weak area.
I imagine that you haven’t really thought about your position much, because if everything else in your life were as fragile as a soldered on USB C connector, you couldn’t go a single day without breaking something, unless just sitting around doing little to nothing.
I am in favor of products improving. Not excuses.
