my vague understanding of this is that the viton seal
is made with more heat resistant rubber, so on a performance engine
with all the extra hot temps and then cooling down, it doesnt perish
or go hard, so it lasts longer.

Valve stem seals are made of Viton, they withstand pretty high temperatures.
