If done correctly it shouldn't but I have seen it. If crimped correctly a connection shouldn't fail either but Ive also seen that happen. You may not have seen electronics operate in the conditions that some of the equipment that I build operates in. There could be countless reasons why you haven't seen it and I have. Usually a breakage is due to a cold solder joint but also can be cause by extremely high temps, low temps, high humidity or vibration/shock.

For maximum durability on my own stuff this is what I would do. If I was using non insulated crimp terminals.
Make sure you crimp first and solder second. If you solder first and crimp second you will break the wire. Dont forget to protect your connection point with adhesive heat shrink.
