Isn't that what the "under body" coating supposed to help with?

Think of an under coating like underwear you never take off. It's not going to protect you for long if refuse to wash your underside.

"Help" is the operative work. Modern auto manufacturers do a lot of things to help vehicles resist rusting out both in terms of the structure and in the various brake lines and so forth. So now they rust out in maybe 10+ years rather than 5 or less.
