Yup, it is a fact of life, M/C electrical systems are prone to corrosion but with a little TLC we can avoid a lot of problems. Some of the riders on another forum I belong to use marine switches and such when installing accessories. These are made to a much higher standard for safety etc. To manufacture a bike to these standards would be costly and probably not needed by a lot of riders. Besides, if bikes were perfect and wart free, we would no use for a forum and lose the opportunity to meet new friends from around the world.
