True, but most handgun owners just really aren't shooters. Three to five hundred rounds is probably about as much as your average handgun owner shoots through a centerfire pistol in the entire time they own it.
Competition shooters or gun school junkies put much higher round counts through weapons and (surprise!) report a lot more breakage and malfunctions.
(Think about it: Range trip every other month, 50-rd box of FMJ per visit, it would take two years to shoot 600 rounds. For a serious IPSC or IDPA competitor, that's a heavy weekend before a big match.)
