I think that has to do more with the heads being used and the quality of the cable than anything.
I’ve seen tons of cheap heads on good cable, and it goes poorly after a while.
I generally recommend cable thats been third party tested for both performance and physical resilience. Haven’t seen any decent riser that wasn’t, but I have seen some patch from major brands that definitely wasn’t.
Nah man, these were terminations from companies like L-com, molex for a little while, etc.
You’re absolutely correct otherwise, but we spent money on what were supposed to be reliably engineered products by large connector companies. The wire was supposed to be good stuff too. I was a lot younger so I don’t remember the exact details honestly.
Yeah big brands can screw up too, I had several spools of coax fail once, and it turned out the whole batch had a problem. I’m just glad no one pulled first, tested later.

Oof, that sucks.
