I mean, they've been in existence since the early 1900's with good reliability, to the point I've personally never heard of an issue with them. My '97 Maxima has the original master and slave cylinders at 200k miles, only replaced the clutch. Maybe one master or slave on all of the manuals I've owned since the 1960's. Really weird...,

My guess is that temperature plays a big part. Newer engines run a lot hotter than they did back in the 60s. With the undertray, the Z traps a lot of heat around the transmission which causes fluid to degrade faster. But, yeah, that's just a guess.
