What? They're not sensors, they're switches. They have nothing to do with the master failing. Incorrect adjustment of the master pushrod is what causes it to fail. Pushrod has to be square to the bore of the MC. If it's at an angle, it causes premature wear of the mc seals.
Even worse things can happen if those switches are incorrectly adjusted.
1) Premature clutch wear due to lack of full engagement
2) Difficulty in shifting due to clutch not fully releasing
Both of these can be much costlier than replacing the MC.
