Imo, it is about the durability of ports as well. You make cable too tough, you may damage the C port. And not everyone has the tools to fix it. Kinda the torx tradeoff, you destroy bits, but the impact drill and screws are fine. More "easily" recoverable damage at the cost of cables. They ain't cheap though.
