Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?

I actually think the USB-C ports are worse than the micro with the phones I've had. They have a lotta play in them with how the cable can still move up and down. The little tab it's connecting to gets worn out from it. At least the micro connector locked into place and wouldn't jiggle anything.
