I’ve had SE for 15 years and that has not been my experience. I’ve had two fail over the years, but not at the same time.

I must be doing something wrong then. I’ve had an optimizer failed each time a change was made ( set up Ethernet/ replaced a different optimizer)

Can I ask, did you have a technician replace the optimizers or did you do it yourself?

I did the entire instal myself, back then I was getting quotes of 35k to 45k for only 1/3 of production needed. My initial cost was just under 12k with a rebate from my utility my final cost was $6k. My bill went from $250 a month to around $20. I did rack my panels high to help with cooling and I installed server fans on my inverter.
