I’m guessing you didn’t grow up in the age of landlines with corded handsets. They got used all to hell back when they were THE way of contacting people remotely. Kitchen phones in any home with a mother got used a lot, with the cables being dragged all over the room and sometimes into the next.
Their point is that the old phone cords saw a lot more use than USB chargers and they still stood up to all the abuse.
USB charge cables are mostly employed when the device is not in use and is just charging. Land line cords were always attached and often saw a lot of activity with people pacing while on the phone or playing eith the cord.
I did, it’s just that our family (including my mother) looked after our things and the phone never got ruined…
That’s a gross level of smug paired with some backhanded mysogyny.
