My point was not to use 3/4" screws into drywall or something. The
strongest cabinets in the world won't be worth a darn if they pull off
the wall when you load them up.

I use 3" deck screws at every stud behind the cabinet, both at the top
and bottom of the cabinet.

We had that happen with a bathroom cabinet not long ago. The screw, if
it hit the stud at all, was only secured to drywall. I'm surprised it
lasted as long as it did.

Proper length screws in the right place solve all kinds of problems.
