Coppers are reddish-brown metals with high conductivity and are such with high tensile strength, i.e the have strength of material which is expressed as the greatest longitudinal stress that can bear stress very well without tearing apart.

Here Aluminium tears apart when it is subjected to tension/stress because of low tensile stress. And that can only result the USB to malfunction.
