Well cared for and regularly maintained, I think clarinets can last for many, many decades, if not longer. My first teacher still plays on the set of R-13's she bought back in the 70's, and they sound great. After all, we routinely perform on 300 year old violins and 200 year old bows...
I just find that some clarinetists are unwilling to play an instrument that has visible repairs, or has had cracks in the past (even if they are fixed). It's likely because the cost of clarinets is relatively low by comparison so a complete replacement is easier. After all, $5000 is still only in the range of student-level violins, but that will easily fetch a new Buffet Festival or Tradition model.
