Tailwheel aeroplanes will not tolerate sloppy landing technique. So tail wheel pilots tend to land correctly.
That's one outcome scenario. Another would be that tailwheel aeroplanes are simply more likely to be damaged in cases where pilots (humans!) momentarily perform under par.

BTW, given that this is apparently such a "stick & rudder" topic, I am almost astonished that no one has so far mentioned the fact that according to the well-known book of the same name, it's the taildragger landing gear which is assbackwards
