People would leave them plugged in damaging the port.
It’s a design to prevent stupid people damaging their products than having to deal with warranty claims that they can’t just tell you “you’re a fucking moron, unplug it to use it and it won’t get damaged”.
Or you could have a port that's not garbage like every wired mouse with a removable cable...
Any port would be damaged by constantly moving something while connected…… it’s why you hardwire them if you don’t want them being damaged.
Not true at all, lots of wireless mice with durable optional cables.
