You want the simple answer ules? Emirates and Singapore are having the same or similar problems.
To a certain extent, that is true. But their problems have not caused them to cancel flights to the extent of QF's. SQ's engineering planning guys do preventive mx by foreseeing problems that might happen and doing inspection on them or replace known trouble giving components before they start giving problems. Just look at a SQ A380 arriving at its bay at SIN and you will see a battalion of MX vehicles standing by. Any SQ 380 with a ground time of at least 4 hrs will have at least one engine cowling open. Another reason could be that QF's A380 woes are highly publicized compared to other airlines and a/c types making it look problematic.
Believe some sort of brake/hydraulic issue
A380s had issues with the BSCU unit early on. Not sure whether that has been resolved.
The A380 is fine when the cycle is at the top but falters when it isn't.Its performance is certainly not living up to expectations.In particular fuel burn rate.
It is rapidly becoming obvious that systems reliability is another issue
Mind giving me the sources to your bold statement. Mine doesn't seem to think so.
