I believe I’ve heard that PEX actually breaks down and starts leeching chemicals into the water faster than PVC. It’s also a cheaper material. Most of the houses I’m familiar with are still installing PVC.
PVC fell out of use in the 2000s, most buildings use PEX now; but I don’t know how that compares.
