Compare it to Formula 1 performance race cars, running on the edge of technology, lots of power but at the expense of a short life span.
I think the materials used in modern limb manufacture do the job of creating speed and stability as stated in the advertisements but aren't truly compatible for longevity, the shearing forces between the various layers are immense and if the adhesion isn't spot on you are looking at a potential failure.
