Due corrosion?
Not necessarily. I've heard some horror stories about keeping Gruman amphibian electrics and avoinics working, probably compounded by low and intermttant utilisation. After all, they first flew June 1937 and ceased production in 1945.

They are an aircraft for the very wealthy enthusiast. I doubt there is anything financially rational or sane about their operating costs.
