Saw a guy staple corner bead instead of nailing it, big mistake

Watched a crew on a remodel in Dayton put up corner bead with just staples and mud over it, within 3 months it was cracking down every seam. I've been doing drywall trim for 12 years, staples flex too much behind the bead, you need screws or nails every 8 inches. Anyone else run into this shortcut and have to tear it out?

Staples just love to pop out on me too, guess I should stop drywall work and become a chef.
