I just helped a friend find a radiator hose leak on his Cavalier, and I had a pinhole leak on my OEM Dakota upper hose at less than 10 years/100K miles. I've seen multiple modern cars take a coolant dump in the parking lot at work.
Before that I've had numerous hoses go, but that was before EPDM, so maybe no longer relevant... but no, I'm not on board with the idea that factory hoses are a lifetime part. When I was young I took a cavalier attitude towards breakdowns, but I'm not so young and my wife is not so forgiving on that topic.
