Peugeot originally used metal ones, quickly changing over to plastic ones after a few years when they realised they can bend.
If you have strong springs on your shocks, you'll find that you can quite easily bend the metal ones... If you look at the structure of the plastic ones, in their intended orientation, there's no way they'll bend... If they're getting to the point of bending, you'd have long bent the metal ones...
I don't get the whole thing about plastic ones breaking - I've had one set on my car and I've NEVER replaced them... They're absolutely perfect, never snapped, balljoints in good condition... Never had an issue...
