I've had a GB guard go too, I think it's down to mounting and preventing the deadly combination of stress risers and fatigue cycles. Fatigue is obviously more of a problem with aluminium but it'll still do bad things to steel.

The two materials do act differently to fatigue. Alu hardens (and will eventually crack). Steel should flex enough and survive ... forever basically.
{ pretty sure your aware of ^ this }
I guess it’s theoretically possible to isolate aluminium enough from bad vibes - I just think it isn’t practical.
I think plastic is the answer.
