Ball Bearing Lock, why not on more knives?

Curious why the ball bearing lock isn't on more knives then the Manix? I'm guessing people don't like it since the Manix also has a back lock version. I really like the ball bearing lock on my Manix.

Springs can break. There are a lot of moving parts. They require a hyper-delicate adjustment of the pivot to balance blade play with a smooth action.

Are there any designs for an unbreakable spring that does not wear out due to metal fatigue that you know of?
