I think their lab testing did not include dusty home, outdoor and food crumb simulations that the real world has, probably fairly clean factories with high amounts of ventilation sucking out all the dust with robot fingers doing fatigue tests.

It didn't seem to me like dust was the main problem, or at least not the only problem.

I could believe that their test rig didn't adequately simulate the motions/stresses of finger keypresses.
