Well, they must not actually be doing that on cheap switches, they fail probably 10x as much as anything except maybe power supply equipment and connectors. Mechanical keyswitches have some pretty amazing reliability though. I actually like the touchscreen everything movement in most applications, partly because of this. A screen may be expensive, but good switches might be just as expensive.
