Hum… Yes, that is an issue too, but I don’t think the OP’s complaint is about USB 2.0 cables.
Or, at least, my old micro-USB cables take way more beating than any telephone I ever had, and they are almost all perfectly fine. I don’t know if the largest issue is the shielding, wire thickness, or the width of the USB-C connector, but all of those play some part.
