I don't know who you are referring to but cheaper units do exist that will fail sooner than one would expect. It's not that the units themselves are built any differently than a more expensive one, rather it is the protection control devices that are added onto the unit which will lengthen its life.
A residential central A/C unit is listed as a major appliance and as such has a certain life of 14 years...
