It's not any more common to break a timing belt on this car than any
other 4 cyl with a timing belt. Considering that belts are common on
4 cyl engines and the maintenance cycle has been well known for over
30 years I don't see what you are complaining about.

You really shouldn't post things that you haven't a clue about. You may
actually cause someone to run a belt to failure and then need a fairly
extensive engine overhaul rather than a simple belt replacement. On
interference engines, running a belt to failure is a really dumb idea.

If this is one of the 1.8 Mitsubishi dohc engines, it's common for the
timing belt to strip even prior to the maintenance interval. I've
replaced stripped timing belts on these prior to the car reaching 25k
(almost always with cylinder head work, too).

Rare to get a reasonable repair quote? What's reasonable? What's the price
of a head? Or a valve train, even? A broken timing belt on an interference
engine is usually a pretty major event. It should cost $200 to fix it?
