Water Pump Longevity

I just replaced my water pump on my 1999, it was the original and seemed to be as good as new. Can someone explain to me, why it is recommended to change out the pump every 4-5 years? Are they of poor quality or unusually stressed compared to other vehicles?

Prior to my Boxster I have only had to do one water pump in 35 + years if vehicle ownership and multiple cars of various brands.
