I would say it is huge design failure, sure those go hand in hand with user error, but it is way too easy to not plug it in correctly, dye to lack of any loud enough feedback of it clicking in place, plus it is consequently too easy to wiggle it out while cable managing and due to size of the card squishing cable against side panel. Plus it is one of those connectors that are hard to push in, making matters worse. Like even silly stuff, like "if you seem, connector is not lugged in" line would help.

And even if you can argue that while more common than usual, issue isn't that widespread, this still doesn't make it any less design failure or any harder to mess up. Plus makes you wonder how many people still don't have it fully plugged in and basically have ticking time bomb, that hasn't gone off yet because it isn't wiggled out itself enough yet. But maybe opening and closing side panel few more times will do the trick.
