We're going on 30 years for Glocks, no frames crumbling yet. If mine crumble in 50 years:
1) I'll be happy if I'm still functional enough to shoot them, and
2) I'll be happy to buy a new frame for 20 bucks.
I think Justin summed it up nicely, and to expand on what Sam said, in competetive shooting, where people actually shoot their guns, the gun is the cheapest part of the entire equation. If 'old' guns were more durable, more accurate, more reliable, or more functional in any measureable way... everyone would be shooting them.
