For me, I've had vastly different experience than the things you're talking about. Probably due to the fact my car is maybe driven 10 times a year some years, and stored indoors. I haven't experienced the kind of degradation you mention. There are ways to check the condition, and I do. And when they go bad I'll replace them. But the last set I removed, someone else could still get perfectly good use from. I changed simply because I don't use a distributor anymore. Different strokes.
