I think this is mostly because the parts supplied with all of these electronic throttle bodies are lowest bidder.
To give an example of this, the FiTech internal regulator uses a regulator from Volkswagen and Audi products, which don't typically have large failure rates.
The FiTech unit doesn't have a large failure rate in general, but it is a cheap copy of the OEM Bosche unit. You can choose to replace all of these sensors right away if you're worried about it and you then have modern OE level equipment in them.
Quality across the board on automotive items right now is very poor. Even from big names like Holley and Edelbrock. It's currently better for the bottom line to ship crap products and warranty replacement parts then it is to produce quality products to begin with.
