Actually, both the PS1 and PS2 both were worse hardware wise then the PS3.  Pretty much all fat PS2 would get DRE issues eventually.  And most the older models of the PS1 would eventually have to be turned upside down in order to work.  They moved the laser locations on later models and the PSOne version to fix that problem.

More than 60 % of the fat PS3 models would get YLOD eventually, and that's much more difficult to fix than a faulty laser or disc drive.

There was no easy fix for the fat PS2's that would get DRE issues.  Most people that had one just bought a new model or if they were smart, they bought a new one put the faulty unit in the box of the new one and returned it to the store and asked for a refund.  As for the faulty original PS1 even if you fixed the laser it would go bad again eventually since it was designed wrong and the laser was too close to the power supply.
