Broken cable = broken streaming stick...?

Let me get this straight. Streaming stick split up into two...sticks. Roku turned a USB cable that we all have about a million backups of into an irreplaceable, proprietary, and required component for the functionality of the streaming stick. Why wifi wasn't incorporated into the stick or at least designed with usb ports rather than a hard wired cable we will probably never know because there will never be a justifiable reason. I suspect Roku realized this was a bad design, since I can't find the replacement cable anywhere, and read somewhere else that it's out of stock or not being made any more. Expensive products that break by touching them are infuriating. Not even being able to replace a cheap component without buying an entirely new device is next level. Am I really gonna have to replace an $80 device over a bent power cable? (Hint: it ain't gonna be a Roku if that's the case)
