Absolutely true,
BUT:
those posting on this board represent a fraction of Saab owners, and a large number of failures occurring in a small sample around 20k miles is significant. A blown tire can leave you just as stranded but not everyone wants to cary $300 parts around in a new car along with a spare tire!
Unless all these failures are associated with engines that overheated due to another factor, I would say that something changed to make this part a lot less reliable... DI cassette failures have been occurring in Saabs for almost 10 years, and I started to hear this about my NG900 4-5 years ago, but not at 20k!
