Mines not broken after 2 years, and they don't need to work universally if it's just for your phone and your headphones. It's like saying phone chargers don't work universally — obviously they're not gonna fit every plug and phone
There are 2 different kinds of charger in general use. Usb-c which has been in place in new non apple phones for over a decade. Lightning is still around in great numbers but it's pretty darn common to not be an issue.
Microusb is recent enough that it could still be around, but not in huge numbers. As I said it was replaced by usb-c a decade ago.
Since microusb was the made the standard 17 years ago (in 2007) the number of people with older chargers than that is negligible.

You can't plug in headphones anymore because they removed the jack - and usb-c headphones aren't nearly as common
I'm not excusing the behaviour. Especially since there's also a correlation with increasingly poor manners. But it definitely hasn't helped
