Consider yourself lucky, I’ve never seen a connector fail at a higher rate. The ports are the problem, they’re extremely fragile and often don’t grip the connection properly. For a particularly egregious example take a look at the DualShock 4
Oh, I missed the “micro” part. Yeah, micro-B is awful.
When Apple was dragging its feet about moving to USB-C, I remember people talking about how terrible a connector Lightning was. I was confused, because yeah compared to USB-C Lightning was terrible, but Lightning was miles better than micro-B and mini-B, which were the standards when Lightning was created.
Apple held onto it too long because they were greedy. But when they made it, it was a damn good connector for the time.

USB-B is janky? I’ve never had issues with it, but I also don’t work with it frequently.
Edit: Nevermind, I can’t read. Yeah, Micro-B is terrible.
