    I suspect this is because the newer the building the worse the materials.

    We live in a house built 1969 and my parents house was built in 1985. Both houses are still in great shape, but some friends houses built in the early 2000s are a shit show of failing plumbing, siding and roofs. Poorly built quickly from shitty materials.

    I wonder what the true lifetime of PEX plumbing will really turn out to be?

      yeah that actually matches with my experience :)
