i'm not a tech person but this "cable bend" shit sounds like trying to offload blame for a poorly designed connecter to consumers, like, idk but I really don't think bending a cable should result in catastrophic failure in the connecter and if it does then it's poorly fucking made
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".

Its because they are puting insane amounts of electricity in a tiny cable.
That being said i once had a psu cable melt under normal loads because it was a bit loose
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".
