Don, if you learn this is true, let me know and I'll try another
hydraulic switch.

I was suffering an even higher rate of failure, roughly one every 6
months in my daily driver.  Since I don't have headers, I attributed
this to the higher power brake light bulbs I use.  After even trying a
hydraulic switch from an American car (old Buick as I recall), that also
only lasted a few months, I converted to a mechanical style switch.  It
has gone over a year so far, with no signs of trouble, even though I
added even more brake lights last summer.
