Never had a USB c fall out randomly or became loose. It's been solid dating back to my note 10+ and now to my z fold 4.
And it happened because it is called progress. It's just your hate for anything new is blinding you to the advantages of USB c.
Here is a list of innovations that usb c offers:
USB-C is the emerging standard for charging and transferring data. Right now, it’s included in devices like laptops, phones, and tablets and — given time — it’ll spread to pretty much everything that currently uses the older, larger USB connector.

No it's not blind hatred of new. I had major issues with charging devices depending on it. Enough to take them back. Also, I'm not giving up all my older tech just to have ONE cable vs two. At least with Micro-USB I can charge properly, keep one cable and my preferred tech perfectly fine.
Look, I at least tried the 'modern' tech before getting so frustrated with it that I went back to what did work best. Sorry if it doesn't satsify the futurist mindset...
If people were clamoring for it, why does the EU have to mandate it? That's like making the claim that TV viewers wanted Analog TV to die, but it was the FCC that forced it and nobody got a vote.
I wish companies would just go back to satisfying demand and not manipulating it by offering limited selection when upgrade time comes. I want the excitement back is all. Things that feel like upgrades and not simply change for change's sake, and perhaps I wouldn't be such a stick in the mud. But tech lately is boring, stagnant, and not doing anything but making worse implementations of what I already had in 2010. We already had folding screen phones in 2012 (Kyocera Echo), so the Z Fold/Flip ain't nothing but a flawed replacement (it's not innovation it's just redundant and has crease issues still)
Until there are actual upgrades, and features that make it worth it then I'll stay where I am. USB-C is just another solution in search of a problem. A way to promote more #Donglelife
There ain't no advantage to USB-C when I needed my phone charged before work and it took two attempts to plug it in to show it charging, but it just drained while thinking it was charging, and I had 18% when I woke up. I thought it was a phone issue so I bought another and it did the same thing. They only charged when powered off. With the charger they came with. Sorry, but if Micro-USB guarantees a fully charged device I'm gonna use that. Charging speed doesn't matter since I put my phone on charge before bed and take it off when I wake up (it goes an entire day and ends the day with well over 60%)
Also I got removable batteries so I can keep fully-charged spares and that's more portable than keeping up with power banks and more cables. I really have no clue what happened with manufacturing. They make devices intended to be thrown away when the battery dies, but then cite 'helping the environment' by not including a charging brick.
