You've been lucky, but then so have I. I add a little SeaFoam to my gas when they sit for a while so I don't have any issues. My WeederEater Featherlite (the cheapest one they sell) is now 16 years old and is still running, I need a bigger unit but can't bring my self to buy one while my old one is still running.
Local small engine repair man has showed me some carbs that he has worked on after sitting for just a winter with untreated fuel and its nasty (maybe their tanks were nasty to start with?). If left long enough the ethanol seems to turn into something that looks like algea.
But its not like "gummed up carbs" are something that just started happening, anything left sitting too long will gum up. That's why gas stations used to be called service stations with an on duty mechanic to keep everything running and in tune with every tank of fuel.
