weak pressure plate?

i have read on here that the pressure plate is weak and that is why are clutches start to slip. is this true? if so can you get an aftermarket pressure plate to solve the problem?

you get a new clutch to fix the weak clutch problem. nobody sells just a pressure plate, and even so you replace the pressure plate and disc at the same time.

the clutch also isnt that weak (im opening a can of worms here). i have 70k km on my stock clutch, no issues. i know the previous owner did get it very hot once at the track but its still grabbing fine.
