There are some tech youtuber/bloggers that have disassembled NVIDIA's included cable and it seems that they have some serious QC issues. So far there don't seem to be any reports from third party cables having the same issue, but it might be too early to tell. Either way this is probably a good example of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
yeah so that all sounds like a design flaw and "i'm sorry sir but you bent the cable too close :~( " seems like the manufacturer trying to shift blame
Shades of "It's the customer's fault our coffee was hot enough to melt lead".
