I dunno, the rubber just fails over time, it gets stretched out or turns to goo, dunno if it's planned or rubber belts are just the best thing for the job.  I bought a 50 year old Ferguson radio cassette player and the only thing wrong with it was the belts needed replaced. That's really not bad for something that old, especially compared to the electronics of today.
