I dunno if you mean people don’t pay any attention to them in general or instead of buying new sliders/bolts. Either way, they sell replacements cheap at the parts stores. Sometimes its easier for people that have bad rust or whatever on them and dont have access to a wire wheel.
A FYI: Lube the shit out of the sliders, with brake component lube (whether it be the small packet at the parts store counter or the bottle of it NOT AntiSeize) not bearing grease or general grease…it melts.

no, i mean when you are doing brakes, lube the fucking things when its all apart. it amazes me how lazy people/mechanics are when they are doing shit. the mechanic that did the work on the subaru i am currently driving is a fine example of this… because he was in such a hurry i had to pull all 4 brakes off and rebuild them. so i lost a couple hours of my weekend, and he lost my old ladys parents as customers.
