Why does Tanjiro’s Sword break so often?

It is really surprising how Tanjiro’s Nichirin gets broken so often. Fans theorize this is mostly due to the incompatibility between his breathing technique and his sword.

Sun Breathing Technique was lost long ago and the Nichirin swords made are not powerful enough to withstand the technique which is the reason why his swords break so often!
