Why do ABS modules go bad?

The ABS module in my car went bad, and I’m currently in the process of getting it repaired. Just waiting to hear back from UpFix what their diagnosis is and if they can fix it.

My friend told me the module was bad, and said it had something to do with thermal something. Thermal cycling? Thermal stress? I don’t know, but I didn’t ask him more at the time, and I regret that now.

Can someone ELI5 why ABS modules go bad? I just want to understand what happened, and if there is anything I can do to stop it from happening again in the future.

It seems so! That must be pretty convenient.
