My youngest son still uses his Fold 3 but his screen was replaced (for free) after UbreakIfix botched his inner screen protector replacement. My older son and I used Fold 3 until just couple of months ago (full 3 years) and had no issues other than mine showing some signs of battery degradation. (We both traded it in for fold 6)
My wife's fold 3 developed an issue of hinge not fully opening after 2 years. it would open like 175degrees, not quite fully open, but this happened after she dropped her phone so I do not really fault Samsung. She traded it in for Fold 5.
Really, at least for Fold 3, we haven't had any issues in our household with inner folding screen. When my wife fell from her bike, the fold 5 was literally flung out (it was mounted on her bike) right on to the paved road and it still has no issues.
So, in my limited experiences (7x folding phones in the family so far), the fold screen isn't THAT much more prone to breaking than any other phones (if anything, IMHO hinge is the weak point) and the phones tend to have shorter duty cycle anyways - 3 years is what I give though I think it is going to get longer and longer just like the laptops.
The latest trade in rejection reason that my son got:
"Your trade-in was supposed to be for Samsung ZFold 3, but you sent in Samsung ZFold 3 5G. We will charge you $500"
Quick chat got this reverted, but still, it is ridiculous reason since there isn't even Fold 3 5G option for trading in and as far as I know, they did not make non-5g version of Fold 3.
