Just what percentage of commercial RC helicopters/drones make it to 75 flights before an accident requiring repairs?  With outdoor overwinter storage.  My observations at local RC flying fields and around town would indicate that it is single digit or less.  And it is a much easier environment.

Yes but I'm certain those also doesn't cost the same that this one costs and how hand picked/tested his components must had been to endure such environment...

Maybe what you're noticing is the general ambience of the camera used to take the picture.

Most space photos are taken with rather boring scientifically calibrated low-resolution CCDs. Ingenuity used a Snapdragon SoC and a camera (IMX214) which is common in modern smartphones.
