My cheap Joe Blow floor pump has been working for the past 10 years.
A lot of the issues with pumps that are constructed well and have a decent design comes down to customer usage.
Some users simply do not know how to use a pump.

I have a 10 year old silca superpista that needed a replacement gasket after 7 years of daily use (4.95). At some point about 4 years ago I picked up a serfas floor pump, the 606 model or something like that for about 5 dollars w/ a gift card and while cheap, it's actually works really well. Never had an issue with it.

how does the brass bush-on head work?
what holds it onto the valve stem?
The soft rubber inside the brass head which is replaceble when needed.
I've had the same random Bontrager pump for the better part of 8-9 years and its worked like a charm. I don't get how some people break pumps, but I have noticed that several brands have terrible base joints. Specialized in particular has a pump body that screws onto the base, which loses its seal as the threads back out a bit.
Everyone loves Silca. I bought one last year. It had a brass and plastic head. Broke in 1.5 tires. Thought, ok, maybe a fluke. Bough a new head, all medal, from QBP (but Silca branded). Broke after the second tire. Now the pump sits in the corner collecting dust. POS

Everyone loves the old Silcas. I'm not quite sure how old is old enough.
