SD cards don't get corrupted easily, if you buy the right ones. (Unfortunately most people don't, and end up blaming the Pi for being unreliable.)

Well, it's not easy. Brand name doesn't get you anything in this department, you have to track down "industrial" SD cards.

On top of that, it's 50/50 in my experience as to whether the fault was the microSD card, or a weak / insufficient power supply (that's the main reason, I think, the Pi Foundation now makes their own).

No offense but that's true of everything and incredibly unhelpful. As others have pointed out, you can't rely on name brand or even product line.
This isn't an issue isolated to Pis either, GoPros, among other devices, are notorious for eating microSD cards as well.
