i literally just finished a usb-c charging port repair on a relative’s phone.
The plastic “tongue” inside the port was gone, and the metal pins normally embedded in it were standing in empty air.
You can break it if you really want to :)
I had one phone where it was the port, but I’m pretty sure it was water damage. It took one too many falls into puddles while fumbling with kids, carrying stuff and opening doors all at once
Every time I’ve had that happen, it’s been the cable going bad, not the port.
Or the port is just full of pocket lint
