From what I’ve seen, that is the case with a lot of things, not just Wyze. That, combined with Apple frequently forcing things on you and doing things like intentionally slowing your device or reducing battery capacity, it really fascinates me how they have such a loyal following (especially considering the premium price).

Without going down a really deep rabbit hole, I have an iPhone 11 since February 2020 running the latest iOS 18.4.1 and my phone is as fast as it was when I got it five years ago. The battery capacity is at 84%. I have never had any issues related to any of my Wyze cameras that most of people are complaining around here. To be honest, I believe it is not the platform or the hardware, 99% of the time it is the user unfamiliarity with it.
Apple will officially stop supporting my phone in 2026, that is seven year support since its introduction in 2019.
Absolutely don’t recommend Wyze to anyone, and if asked I explain the pros & cons of the Wyze Eco-system.
Wyze is okay for a budget hobbyist platform for cameras.
Wyze seems to eat more of your time troubleshooting issues usually after a bad update.
Or the random SD card corruption on any random camera at anytime, that then requires you to “baby sit” your cameras by checking SD now and then…
Or don’t check then need to review something on SD only to find SD got corrupted by Wyze cam = Unreliable
The lens eventually fails and water gets in on most camera models from V3 forward, not all will fail but the failure rate is high. And usually they fail after warranty.
So Wyze cams should be considered the “Bic Lighter” of Cams as in Disposable and cheap.
That being said, it all depends on your needs,
Wyze cams are now my secondary system, as the cameras fail they are not replaced with a Wyze product.
You kind of make your own stability (eg foregoing app & firmware updates if things are working well) and uniformity (eg using a single cam model to avoid all the variations across models in the app UI.)
I think there’s discernible improvement in the former * though not so much in the latter. We’ll see.
* I’m running the latest firmware on all cams (v2 v3 OG) and devices (bulbs and plugs) and the latest app (v3.xx) which I didn’t do until about a year ago, so that says something.
I don’t auto-update, howver. Like @StevenA I monitor forum threads for each release to see if its ‘safe.’ And only then install on each device individually, not in bulk. 
Are you prepared to present documented technical proof Wyze cams are corrupting sd cards. The only cards I’ve had corrupted were inexpensive (cheap) ones and expected to happen. Cams don’t corrupt cards, they corrupt themselves with their inability to handle read/write demands.
Yawn, they know…
A format fixes corrupted SD
So random corruptions mean Unreliable.
Remember!

“A format fixes corrupted SD”
Really?!?!
Where did that knowledge come from? A corrupted SD can’t just be fixed with a format, if so it’s not corrupted. Data corruption or true card corruption as in bad sectors on the card? You might succeed using special software utility but no guarantees.
Look at other posts…
There are plenty in reference to the SD card not being able to be written to or read by camera and needing reformatted usually on a pc because the Wyze cam that whacked it is unable.
Known issue do a search no need to rehash the issue that is well known or define the word “corrupted” as this post was asking opinions and guess what that opinion may not be the same as yours 
Touché. The world consists of informed, misinformed and uninformed opinions, each speaking for itself. That being said, I’ll bid you a fond adieu. 
Since you seem uniformed about the SD card corruption issue here’s a running post on the matter 
Just updated by another Wyze user,
Does Reolink make micro SD cards?
I don’t think so.
I know Wyze branded SD Cards had extremely short life spans
I use SanDisk High Endurance Video microSDXC Cards, made for dashcams and security cams in both my Wyze cams & Reolink cams

I had only one SD card fail; and it was a Wyze-branded one.
Oh, wait, look what I did, I did something!
It’s old (but so am I) so I post.

I have never had a SD card fail. I am sure it is bound to happen.
Ironically both my V3 Pans are showing no SD today…
When I get a chance (low priority) I bet these SD’s need formatting to work again
Wyze sure brings the SUCK !
Have you considered… individual karma?

Well when the Wyze cams die I move those SD’s to a new Reolink camera, kind of funny that they don’t fail in a Reolink like they do with WYZE
The only product that has ongoing random issues is Wyze, so I guess ONLY Wyze-Karma
