Their point is that the old phone cords saw a lot more use than USB chargers and they still stood up to all the abuse.
USB charge cables are mostly employed when the device is not in use and is just charging. Land line cords were always attached and often saw a lot of activity with people pacing while on the phone or playing eith the cord.
That's a gross level of smug paired with some backhanded mysogyny.
