They’re not mission-critical equipment. If they fail, nobody dies.
They’re not radiation hardened, so given enough time, they’d be expected to fail. Rebooting them might clear the issue or it might not (soft vs hard faults).
Also impossible to predict when a failure would happen, but NASA, ESA and others have data somewhere that makes them believe the risk is high enough that mission critical systems need this level of redundancy.

Yes, for sure, but that's not my question - it's not a "why is this allowed" but "why isn't this causing more visible problems with the iphones themselves".
Like, do they need constant rebooting? Does this cause any noticable problems with their operation? Realistically, when would you expect a consumer grade phone to fail in these conditions?
