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 plugs are intentionally sacrificial, that is to say the cable breaks rather than the phone or tablet.
However, cheap low grade cables do break quite easily.
