Fittings or pipes themselves?
I don’t think the issue is with pipe work. To be fair plastic has been long in use in the industry
Fittings in plumbing aren’t put to the same extremities as it is in other use. Thinking O rings and seals in the automotive industry
Typically we would use butt fusion in connecting two lengths of pipe but won’t see a small enough machine for 25/32mm pipe (well I’m not aware)

It's much-debated to be fair but the consensus is that the plastic fittings are more likely to fail over time, whereas copper is doing it properly and a job for life, which is what you want when the pipes are buried in your walls.
Sorry @Vince that was probably a bit strong. I'm sure you'll be fine.
