Do good pickups die?

For a few years, I was overjoyed with my B-Band Statement (which sounded awesome).

Sadly - it started to die. First the tone started to go off a bit. Then it started to buzz and feedback. Couldn't get any response from B-Band or advice on how to repair, so I changed it for something else.

When researching recently, I came across a lot of comments like: "The Realist is excellent but it doesn't last very long".

I kinda hoped spending £hundreds on a pickup meant you are set for life! Does anyone know if these kind of pickups have a limited life?
