> it's my fault that the insulation degrades over time

Yeah, since the cable is not replaceable(at least, anything that's not USB-C), that's a crappy thing to say. It's obviously a widespread problem. The charger is expensive but can be replaced.

I had a frayed Apple Thunderbolt Display cable. Non removable and can't be easily replaced. Had to use some insulation tape at the time because an authorized Apple shop also claimed this was wear and tear not covered under warranty.
