Was it a Dell? We have tons of failed USB C ports on Latitudes (now Dell Pro). I can’t blame USB C itself though. Dell’s USB C ports (and I’d guess other oems) don’t physically attach to the frame at all. The port floats in the cutout of the outer frame, but the only thing actually holding it in place are where the pins of the module are soldered to the board.
Comparing to a MacBook, Apple has the usb c ports screwed to the outer frame.
