If that were the case, every other computer peripheral manufacturer would use a similar design or face similar warranty claim issues. Which they don’t. So nah, that ain’t it, chief.
They don’t, though. I don’t think I’ve ever had a USB port wear out from use on any peripheral with a removable cable, so if Apple is facing those kinds of issues, it’s not because of stupid users, it’s because Apple cheaped out on the build quality of the USB port.
As for Bentley versus Honda reliability, Honda’s warranty claim rate is apparently about 2%. I can’t find actual warranty claim statistics for Bentley specifically, only for VW as a whole, but according to this, 93% of Bentley owners have to take their car in for unscheduled repairs every year. Which is pretty insane. So yeah. Luxury brands are expensive because their primary purpose is to show off wealth, not because they’re any better than mass-produced consumer stuff. Often quite the opposite. Who knew.

Other manufacturers don’t care as much about quality so they just deal with the claims.
It’s like comparing a bently to a Honda, no one cares if a Honda gets a warranty claim, but to Bentley, it’s huge.
