I think selection bias is part of it, we tend to hear from the folks who run into issues more than the folks who don't. I also think a drive that sits on a desktop or in a drawer most of the time in an air-conditioned house will last much longer than one that's often thrown into a bag and transported in vehicles, airports, etc.
Right, we need more positive articles like "We just didn't lose 3TB of data on a Sandisk SSD!... Yep, the data is still there!"
