I think most of the comments I've seen here about cables wearing out fast have been specifically about Apple lightning cables.
In my experience, USB cables do not wear out quickly, especially if you buy braided ones. In the past 15 years or so, I think I've had a single cable fail (a cheap, crappy one that came free with something).
As a consumer, it benefits me greatly to only need one connector and charger, and the environmental argument makes a lot of sense to me too.
