Up here in Central NY, you'd have been replacing that 80% of the brake lines
every few years. Sure wish they made brake lines and fuel lines out of some

In the first 45 years of driving, I don't know of anyone replacing a
brake line. In the past half dozen, I've heard of plenty of lines being
replaced, including mine that were about 9 years old at the time. My
guess is thinner cheaper material.
