Fact

The microUSB was specially designed so the male side takes the most of the stress and wear from reinserting.
The other types of USB the female side has a spring to push the male connection in place. This means the female part takes more wear.

The idea is the cable is easily replacable, the port not so.

Hence rated for 10000 mating cycles on microUSB over 1500 on standard USB.
