I wouldn't say "silly" but certainly a difficult life for the system. Then again, think of all the other constant impact and undulation hydraulic system out there that run for years.

Those probably do not have a Bourdon-type pressure gauge with tiny gears in it bouncing down the road while also getting shock loaded through the hydraulics. Is the gauge fluid filled? I will find out whenever mine arrives but I am curious now nonetheless. The pictures are poor but I do not think they have glycerin in them.

Gen 1 (on clearance) is not glycerin filled, but Gen 2 is.

I have their gooseneck ball solely for the height. Gauge quit working on mine. Not real sure how it works but the ball set on some kind of hydraulic fluid pocket and the seal failed. I know of three similar failures. They will rebuild or will send you the parts.

My camper was around 3500 pounds pin weight. That’s a lot of pressure for a seal to hold especially when you add the bouncing.
 
My first one never had any issues. But I also made sure to never overload it...
