Perhaps all of the dust and vibration kills them. Unless the horns are all the same brand, it's the only thing that I can think of that all the machines have in common.

My only long term (meaning over a period of several years), experience is with Kobelco, and of the three individual machines, all of the horns still work fine.

Most of the times I find that the guys on the ground don’t like the operators blowing the horn to get their attention so they disconnect them

Reminds me of a poor old 245 cat I used to work on when I lived on Vancouver Island, it loaded trucks in a rock quarry in the bush, the horn was hand held, cordless. Just stick it out the window!
