Shocks IMO should (and have for me) lasted a lot longer than 70,000 miles. You are correct they will wear out with enough miles.
I have never replaced struts/shocks on any vehicle I have owned over 30 years into 200k range. Not to say they were not well worn but replacement was not required.
Jeep Grand Cherokee's are known to be dead by 50K or so. Common knowledge on the forum, and yes, my experience was the same with them.
Got 107k troube free miles on a '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4. Overland with the air suspension and a '16 Ram Limited with air suspension and 56k miles. These are the best riding and capable suspension on any SUV and pickup. Raises up for off road, lowers for easy entry and adjusts all 4 corners while driving. Towing is the same ride with or without a load. I was very leary at first but now won't have a vehicle w/o it.
