> I've had plenty of USB-C devices of which the port becomes very loose after a while of normal use.
I used to think the same thing, until I looked into how the USB-C plug actually operates: The movable spring parts are all in the cable, so if there's anything wearing out, it's usually that.
Clean the plug/port (lint collecting in the back of the port prevents a proper connection and makes the haptic feedback feel off), possibly swap out the cable if the springs in it are really worn out, and things are as good as new.
> some leaf springs make for a satisfying clunk that doesn't wear out so quickly.

But once they do, you have a broken USB port.
