That has not been my experience.   THe 43 yo water heater has crapped out a TC every 21 or 22 years.  the electronic ign crapped out once in under a year, and again in another 8-10 years.

Water heaters are about the last remaining place where standing pilots make 
sense.
The heat from the pilot flame ends up in the water, so there's absolutely no 
cost to it, aside from periodic thermocouple replacements. (flame sensors in 
electric ignition appliances last much longer than thermocouples that live in 
the flame of the pilot light)
