Instructors were graded by how many hours their students were taking as well as their failure rate. As long as you were averaging a 70% pass rate, the push was to get them done.

There are plenty of people out there who have failed three checkrides who have gone on to have successful aviation careers. There are plenty of factors that go into initial pilot training. I have see plenty of bad CFI's lead good students down the wrong road because they were mentally checked out. This is not a market that companies can be picky about checkrides anymore. Well maybe they could be they won't find a lot of younger qualified pilots without a few blemishes on their training history.

At the Delta-owned puppymill where I got my ratings, busts were only bad because it cost you another 350 bucks. Nobody mentioned they would haunt you forever.

I distinctly remember an FAA inspector telling me before I even finished the training I was going to bust my CFI ride. It was the norm. No one passed the first time.
