Micro USB is notorious for being total garbage. The port breaks at a drop of a hat, the connector bends out of shape (or even snaps) over time, and if not that, the connector often still sits pretty loosely in the port, sometimes enough to fall out later in its lifetime.
Now we have USB-C, which is almost exactly the same size as Micro-USB, but *much* more durable and lasts for years on end with regular use. All the problems from Micro USB are virtually non-existent now.
What exactly are the design differences that make USB-C so much more reliable? Is it the design itself, or are there other contributing factors?

I feel like while USB-C plugs are generally tougher, the ports themselves can still break or get dirty. Low quality cables can also make the connection to the port bad. Imho USB-C is overrated but its better than not having it.
