Some stoves do need parts every 6 or so years. Some are even worse. But some don't. Some go for a couple decades with nothing but a cleaning and a door gasket. Same with cars. Look at the difference in frequency of repair between a Ford Taurus and a Honda Accord.
New, old whatever. My old stove needed a new baffle plate every few years. Gaskets every year etc. My new stove will need new baffle panels every few years. Gaskets every year etc.
The only difference is that those ceramic panels, which are deteriorating after a season and a half by the way, can't be whipped up at the local iron works like the old ones were. I have to contribute to Mike Holton's profit sharing plan for new ones.
