I'd argue it's both those things, really, but definitely more the former than latter. I wouldn't doubt abuse plays a role in it but I would struggle to say it's a bigger role than the inherent "complexity" of the front suspension - there's very little to go wrong in the rear, really.
"More parts means more to break" or however it goes
Though it should be mentioned solid axle vehicles definitely have their own failures too - Jeeps are a perfect example of this
And I'm sure someone with a SAS would be quick to correct me how their front end is anything but simple
