I don't have a concrete source for this handy but I don't think this is totally accurate. For one, the plastic rails on earlier PS1 disk drives wear out and can be a source of error. Secondly, you still see failed disk drives on consoles without modchips.
I think burned discs are probably one factor but I think general hardware failure or dirty lenses are a more common cause.
