Any mechanical device is going to fail, it is merely a question of when.

I have yet to see a car that runs forever without going in for repairs.

True. And I don't consider that a problem. I install plenty other mechanical items in my systems and so do you.

I do consider "lots" of AAV's failing to be a problem and worthy of further questions.

They are a code violation here, because of said failures.

I can't envision a single reason why they should be allowed to be installed.

To make it from the KS basin to below the floor joist, the length of the standpipe from drain to trap weir would exceed 24", it wouldn't be legal.

Maxi- Vent i think was the names of them, its been awhile since I have come across one. But the valve itself would stick open dumping sewer gas into the cabinet or wherever it was located instead of sealing off after it drains. But like killer said any mechanical device has the chance of failing.
