Everything can be broken. It's a misleading approach to think of robust systems as breakable and resilient systems as not breakable.

I think that model works quite well for a lot of practical intervention where people do things to increase robustness that cost resilience.

But you are right that not every robust system will break earlier than every resilient one.
