I have only had one charging cable "break" (the cable sheath separated from the plug sheath, it was still usable and had no exposed wires since they all had their own additional sheath) since I stopped using Apple/Samsung phones as my daily driver.

I think the issue is crappy cables that are then super expensive so that they can continue milking you for every penny you are worth.
