All concrete cracks.
Good concrete, properly installed, doesn't crack. If that's so rare as
to be moot, then fine. But expecting cracks is lowering your
expectations to that of the ignorant and apathetic masses.

I recently looked at a house for sale, with a very large concrete patio.
IIRC the house was built in the 1940s or so. There isn't one crack in
the patio. Not one. Not even a tiny, hairline crack, anywhere.

Thank you!

I was going to post something to the same effect but figured nobody would believe me.

The house I grew up in was built in the 1940's too. I lived there from 1966 to the mid 1980's.
Basement floor and garage floor were both concrete and had nothing that even resembled a crack.
Both were nice and flat and level too.

Even more amazing: when my mother sold the house in the late 1990's, the house still had its
original water heater!

Perhaps those homes were built by redneck craftsmen as opposed
to Mexican construction specialists.

TDD
