"We all" know no such thing.
The original poster is experiencing it now, hence this thread.
Two of my original lightning cables have gone useless the past month. Got them November (my iPhone 5S) and December (extra cable bought from Apple Store). No abuse. I'm a very careful user. Just really poor quality. My brother's cable that came with his iPhone 5 has been replaced too for the same reason. Now he puts electrical tape all around the cable to try to protect it from breaking or whatever damage because he knows it is really flimsy. And I'm doing the same thing when I get my replacement cable.

And oh yes. every Apple-made cable for iPod, iPhone and iPad that I have gotten in the past decade all still work fine too. That was back when their cables were still great. The insulation was thicker. The edges had something like a shock absorber. You know, everything you expect from a quality cable. Too bad you can no longer use them for the newer devices.
The last good cable from Apple were from iPhone 3GS. The one I got with that phone is still working. When they changed the design starting with the one that came with iPhone 4, it has become horrible.
Check this to compare:
And they maintained that design even for the lightning cables, except they're "lightning", not 30-pin.

There are several discussions about Apple's cable quality. Here's one:
I do not think it is fair to judge them as chronic abuser of cables. No one wants to go through all the hassle and expenses of having to replace a cable. If it is a good cable, it should be able to withstand standard usage, or a few pulls here and there.
It is good to note though that Apple takes care of it under warranty, although if it has some cracks, you might have to do some convincing to make them honor the warranty.

Trust me. I don't.
