Part of the problem is sites like this (and others) where people (or perhaps roofing trolls) have posted instances of insurance cancelations due to the age of their roof. If that is the case, I feel insurance companies should inspect and recertify roofs based on their structural integrity, not so much their age. I am pretty sure there have been some perfectly good 15, 20, or 25-year-old roofs that have been claimed and replaced because the homeowner felt the threat of being canceled, and of course, roofing company scammers prey on these folks.
