As in every other case of engine's design flow, it's absolutely not obligatory for all CA18DET and SR20DET to blow, I just shared my knowledge of a quite present problem, never meaning that by all means ALL S-bodies engines would suffer from said problem. The situation results being similar to what happened in the 90s with BMW M52 engines and their famous nikasil engine lines problem being those engines untollerant to gass with high sulphur content, leading to very pronounced engine wear in a very short time. The problem was so serious that for british market M52 were provided with iron blocks, britains didn't accept the nikasil block engines. Many of those engines blew still in warranty, but many survived. I have had two 1998 BMWs with M52 engines (E36 and E39), actually have a 323ti compact E36 with 220whp NA which sees a lot of track time since I have it (5 years), with 273 000km and a nikasil block this car has absolutely no signs of any wear, compression is 185PSI on all cylinders and it has absolutely no oil cosumption. I never have had any problem related with the notorious nikasil block on any BMW I've had, but it doesn't mean other people didn't experience such problems. When certain engine shows a tendency to develop given type of problem it never affects all the units, but the tendency is still there.
