I have not seen nearly as many issues with USB-C as there used to be. Buy from a reputable vendor and a reputable manufacturer and you are very unlikely to have issues. Back in 2016 and even as late as 2018 that was different but, while it still happens, it is much less of a concern these days.
So you want to risk damaging your device because the cable you bought wasn't made correctly? There are a lot of incorrectly USB-C cables and I've see the pictures of what can happen with some of these cables. If I showed you some advertisements for 5 USB-C cables, could you pick out the one cable that was a good one?
