Serious question, is everyone really happy with pocket hole joinery for face frames?

I had a big maple face frame fail on me last month, right in the middle of a kitchen install. The pocket holes just pulled apart after the wood moved a bit with the season change. I spent a whole day fixing it with proper mortise and tenon joints. I know pocket holes are fast, but for something that needs to last, I'm not convinced. Has anyone else had a piece come apart like that?

My maple face frame from 2018 is still fine.

Unlike my maple cutting board from that year, which is a warped mess.
