Anyone know why diesel drivetrains seem hugely more reliable than gas ICE?

How come they can go hundreds of thousands of kms without much talk of issues? Seems it's both the engine and the transmission, too.

Is it because the same design is built into product lineups for long periods without refresh, so kind of a "if it ain't broke don't fix it"? Because there's no huge incentive to improve their fuel economy?
