I found this interesting from lens rental regarding lens mounts breaking.

https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2013/12/assumptions-expectations-and-plastic-mounts/

Particularly this comment.

"When a plastic mount does break, people tend to freak out a bit because the lens is so obviously broken. From a repair standpoint, though, we love them. It takes 15 minutes to replace a broken plastic mount and the lens is as good as new. Metal mount lenses don’t break like that. Instead internal components and lens elements get shifted and bent. It can take several hours to return one of those to optical alignment."
