Glock armorer question - connector ruggedness

Howdy! (gosh it's been a while)
Anyhow, quick question for y'all.

If I understand the Glock trigger system correctly, the connector is just a big flat spring that flexes along its flat axis in the frame as it's squeezed by the trigger bar and released by the slide.

So here's the question:

Based on breakage of flat springs in other contexts, I'd EXPECT to see connectors eventually breaking right around where the "foot" slides into the trigger block.

But of all the "this is things that break on a Glock" articles I've seen, none mention failure of the connector at all.

So what gives?

Do I just misunderstand what's going on?
Is the steel and tempering of the connectors just that good?
Wear elsewhere means the connectors get replaced before its an issue?

Something else?
 
That "spring" has such minimal movement (like MAYBE 1mm back and forth) i dont think its an issue.

Other parts fail much more often...trigger springs for one. Overall a pretty robust design.
