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?

Micro usb connectors held themselves in using these two metal tabs that would bend. You had a very limited number of times you could plug and unplug these connectors before the tabs would not be strong enough to hold it in. USB-C does not have movable parts.
