I've found the opposite, Lightning cables routinely failed for me and I haven't had a USB-C cable fail yet, and I've been using them for 7+ years.

Not sure if it's the connector or the build quality, but want to throw in the opposite experience.

It’s only equal if you consider two outcomes: some risk and no risk.

And there’s always some risk.
