Question about a comment on my old-school glazing point technique

A homeowner in Denver watched me hand-set points on a 12-over-12 sash last week and said, 'I didn't know anyone still did that,' which made me wonder if we're losing the basic skills by defaulting to modern sealants for every single job.

Kept using points on my own house, they just last.

They just last" makes it sound like a sure thing. I've seen plenty of points fail early, even on personal projects. What kind of conditions are we talking about here?
