I have. The way it broke and the pins and all looked exactly the same as here. Obviously it was a cheap no name charger from Temu or so.

Whenever electrical plugs come up, there'll be an English chap thrilling everyone with how sturdy theirs are

I'm Romanian and feel like crying when I see the state of the plugs and sockets at my family's home.

"Oh, this pin is also wobbly. I wonder if today will be the day."

Or, you know, sometimes forgetting to hold the power socket when pulling out the plug and pulling the socket with it, because the shucko grip is something else. They're old sockets, mind you, but unplugging things was one of the small and constant annoyances growing up. We could blame the electrician (who also didn't connect the ground "because it's a hardwood floor") but he left and the sockets are still there twenty years later to take the blame.

I've also never seen it happen with this type J plug. Anecdotal evidence (or lack thereof) doesn't mean much
