Not really. Light transitions travel just as well through plastic as "glass" over a few meters. And - to make toslink work - it really doesn't have to travel all that well. One of my best friends owns a company that actually makes fibre... It has to handle WAY more bandwidth than Toslink.. The real "problem" with toslink/optical are the transition points from cable to opto-isolator/driver. There really (almost) isn't such a thing as a "crappy" plastic cable - but there are badly finished ends that scatter...and poorly fitting connectors.
