All Nexus' have one piece fiberglass roof's with one piece fiberglass end caps. This is a far better design than any rubber roof.
Isn't it fair to say all roof systems fail (leak) in the same manner - at the caulk around openinga and at the membrane perimeter?
Hardly... Rubber roofs are inherently more failure prone, most antiquated technology tends to be that way. If you have a better design and clearly Nexus does, which includes the proper application of the correct sealants, the chances of any type of failure are greatly reduced. Rubber roofs cannot compete with fiberglass which is why any decent builder is going with fiberglass vs the 20+ year old technology that rubber roofs represent.
The question is not why does Nexus build a better product, they do. The question is why don't more builders get with the program and stop sacrificing quality for profit.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
