Default Why isnt S SSBH used more commonly

in reading some of the threads concerning loose coolant lines and other issues with fluid lines I am wondering.......wouldn't using stainless steel braided hose eliminate or at minimum reduce occurrence of these issues???....Is it price, installability or some other reason SSBHis not more commonly ????

would seem especialy important for the turbos..no???

Because the lines that fail are solid and flanges to the motor block that's why.

It's not the actual line. It's what the line attaches to. These things below are what pop out.
