Not in my experience.

Had washer/dryer set and about every 6-9 months we had something going bad in the one we had.

Had to replace the felt on the drum twice at $100-150 per time. 3rd time it happened I got pissed and threw it out. I still have parts that I had ordered in case something else went out (not the felt though).

Went with Speed Queen and happy since.

And yours is one of many but regardless, most of the outlets following the stuff have LG rated highest and even higher than speed queen with regards to quality and reliability over the last few years specifically for laundry appliances. They are clearly not trash these days.

I have a Speed Queen gas dryer that I’ve gotten plenty of use out of. It’s quite simple so I appreciate that part with the lack of electronics.

Only con is I’ve had to clean lint out the bottom that was starting to melt from the igniter/flame at the bottom of the unit. Since electric dryers have their heating element at the back of the units it stays away from any excess lent that gets past the tumbler. Maybe this is a common gas dryer thing (this is my first) but I’ve been pretty thrilled with the performance versus an electric.

Note - if your dryer is on an interior wall and vents out the roof, get an inline booster fan. Makes an incredible difference.
