Until now my chargers have been outliving the devices they came with
I’ve never had to replace a charger.
Same.
I've never had a power brick fail and I've only had maybe 2 cables wear out in 15 years.
Not often. I still use ones from 10 years ago. The only reason I typically buy a new one is because I'm relying more and more on USB C charging and things like my Steam Deck and laptop require a relatively high wattage
You get what you pay for. I go through an assload of cheap Five Below USB chargers but the good ones that cost an arm and a leg that come with phones last forever

I can't remember a charger ever going bad on me. It's always been the cables!
Slightly off topic, but if you’re staying at a hotel and forget your charger, go to the front desk and ask if they have any extras. People tend to leave them behind, so the hotel usually has spares.
