You can bet your left nut that braiding will do precisely zero for durability. No way they want to eat into their cable profits.

True. Chef in a restaurant? No problem.
But expecting minimum wage workers doing mindnumbing factory work to do that perfectly every time and never cut corners without significant oversight seems… unlikely.
Also let’s think about why they’re not wearing gloves. Do you think it’s for any reason other than cost cutting?
Yeah I’ve got one too. They’re certainly nicer, but the thing that worries me is while the braided cable is a little more durable they’ve taken away the strain relief.
(That said these usb-c ones look like they have strain relief, so maybe?)
