Yep, definitely. A bigger problem is the additional heat generated, especially if the phone is also being used at the same time.

The last phone I owned that had a propriety cable, apart from Apple, was a Sony-Ericsson Walkman phone. There was also the Sony Xperia phones, but they had USB as well as their proprietary connector. This was well over a decade ago.

I’m genuinely baffled by this one.

Yeah, it’s kinda tedious really.

Thin skinned bunch, aren’t they?

At best, you come off as a smug prat.
