What the hell are you even talking about? If you think the suspension geometry/kinematics are responsible for fatigue failures under off road racing conditions you clearly don't know the first thing about suspension design in particular or machine design in general. Stop whining out of your ass about a vehicle that does exactly what it was designed to do, namely cart people around public roads in a fun, safe and 'sporty' manner.
If previous gens happened to hold up better on rally stages that is because their parts were overdesigned for the intended (street) usage, which by the way carries a cost & weight penalty along with it. Welcome to engineering - where products are gradually optimized over time to meet design targets (which rally stages are not part of), and have gradually less safety margin as real world loadings during intended usage are better understood.
