No. Details like that does not comes into play. If the quality of the gear does not match the specs, the manufacturer gets a serious problems so they choose components accordingly. They kick the manufacturer around or they choose another if worse comes to worse. Shifting out systems is a much bigger thing. It is about being able to provide the needed services, ensuring the revenue stream. Shifting out old systems can also release frequency spectrum for new more efficient services. This may be at the control of the spectrum authority. So issues like poor capacitors does not really come up. Telco runs quite a different ship than consumer PCs. Way different.
