I am pretty surprised how short the one is that came with the phone and the fact that it is USB-C on both sides, basically rendering the cable useless to me unless I want to specifically plug it in to that wall charger.

You need a full usb-c system to take advantage of the new USB Power Delivery standard. That's a good way to tell if a 3rd party charger won't give you the fastest charging, if it has a USB-A on one side.

That looks pretty easy to damage your phone if it's in a pocket and you put pressure on it just right.
It's a non-issue unless you regularly sit on your phone.
