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?

So you know how a milk can feels heavier on the end of a long stick, right? Now imagine if the handle on the stick had a micro USB to keep the stick on it contra a USB C connecter. The leverage that is caused by the long object like a cable puts force on the connecter and the port. The shape of USB C is symmetrical and has no corners while micro USB can get easily bend out of shape due to the incomplete loop and asymmetrical design.
Also USB C is tight with the walls around it and the port material itself is usually thicker.
It is just better in all ways you can imagine
