My trek road bike and my trek mountain bike both have lifetime warranties on the frame. That is one of the reasons why I buy trek bikes.
That's probably the case then.

Expensive bikes are made to be lightweight. They use material that's very high strength - and not very much of it. Such stuff tends to be a little bit brittle. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that cheap heavy steel bikes are more durable, at least in the frame.

Not necessarily. My primary bike is a 21 year old Litespeed titanium frame bike. With all components it weighs under 18 pounds but has supported me through those years, 10 double centurys, countless centurys and over 60,000 miles of hard riding. I keep getting tempted by those lightweight, flexible, carbon fiber bikes and then hear stories like this and just keep riding the Litespeed.
