I never had PS1 games with that problem, so I'm not sure if it can be called extremely common.

It's also known as "Disk Rot".

It most certainly is a real issue.

I've heard of disc rot, I've just never seen any of my games do that. In any case, as I've mentioned I've had problems with my Master System, but along with that I've also had problems with N64 and NES games recognizing the cartridge. So, it's only a matter of time for cartridge-based games as well, much like everything else.
