I guess common is "relative". I have had 10+ bikes in my life, some old and some new and still have never had to rebuild a petcock. Am I lucky?

It's a seal, it will fail at some point like many other seals on the bike. It's common to change the oil, it's not common to rebuild the petcock but it is "expected" at the end of it's lifespan.
