No that is not an insane comment.
A Garmin fails because either you exceeded the fairly stringent environmental specs, or there was a chip that was in a bad corner of the tolerance matrix, or something else that is statistically fairly low probability.
An ipad fails reliably because it wasn't designed to sit in the sun.

Having two garmins definitely lowers the probability of having both fail if they are in their intended environment.

Having two ipads does nothing if they are not in their intended environment.

You are leading people astray if you are implying that the fact that garmins fail sometimes makes them no better than an ipad subjected to the same environment.

Well that's just an insane comment.  Might as well say if I disconnect the cooling air from two Garmins they will both overheat.   So what Colyn?

kinda.
If you put two ipads on your glare shield in the sun, likely both will behave the same.
