Your anecdote interests me because I've the same thoughts but prefer USB-C instead. I've taken care of my family's iPhones and the issues of pocket lint and loose cables have happened far too often for me to ignore.
The occasions I can remember USB-C breaking are on cables that are from no-name brands.
That said, at least it's easier to clean the ports on a Lightning cable.
