My thinking is their simply using a lower grade steel. Ever notice the way a piece of good steel from way back gets a thin layer of fust and then seems to stop. Now look at the new stuff, it's like it goes straight to pitting and flaking and then just disintegrates. Heck when my 55 Chevy was on the road back in the late 80's it still had origional steel brake lines and they looked as good as the day they rolled off the showroom floor. Granted I replaced the rubber ones but why mess with the steels when they appeared to be thicker than what was available at the time and were still looking good.
