I've got a somewhat different experience - I think it feels that way because we still have low expectations for 3d printing. Every 3-4 prints I do on my 3d printer, something goes at least partially wrong, whether it's weird bed adhesion issues, stringing, or even just fragile parts breaking.

There's a lot that can physically go wrong with 3D printers, but I don't think I've ever hit "print" and had the printer never get the print job, or had an update make the PC forget the printer, or had it complain that I was out a different color filament than the one I was printing with.

But I still have a magic box that can turn plastic string into physical objects, so... I mostly don't care/deal with that when they happen? My 2d printer basically only has similar levels of problems when it runs out of ink, which my 3d printer simply stops and does nothing when that happens
