Russ I believe it has to do with quality of the points to start with. years ago when everything had points my dad always impressed using high quality stuff. Never issues with points I bought and installed. On stuff I bought used? Yea. I've had issues. Used to be corrosion inhibitors was blended in with metals. Today not so much as they are now "hazardous" materials. Same with overall quality. As sales have dropped more and more items like voltage regulator and points have been outsourced. I normally use Blue Streak, Echlin or Standard ignition parts. Generally they have a very good reputation. Last set of Standard brands points I bought were defective right out of the box.
Also how and where things are stored can make a huge difference too. A distributor that hangs off the side of a tractor engine, partially exposed to the weather has more of a chance of moisture getting inside than say a set of points in a chainsaw stored in the basement next to the furnace. I've never had bad problems with it but have had to run a clean piece of paper between the points sometimes. I never considered it a problem. Most often as part of getting something ready to go in the spring I ran paper through the points without even thinking about it as part of my prep to start things I do.
