I've broken several motherboards and many cables over the years. It drives me crazy. The USB-C is the worst. I'm on my third cable now. At least I finally figured out to make sure I get USB-C chargers with removable cables. Now I only have to replace the cable, which I've done twice in the last month.
The Dell XPS 13, which I'm getting in a week or so, has both a proprietary power jack and supports USB-C charging. I'm very happy that I won't be breaking many more USB-C cables.
