But with a better MTBF, I guess Seagate expect the newer ones to be more
reliable than the older ones.

Roughly the ratio of five platters to four platters,
heads etc. And those are MTBF calculations, not actual
field data. If Seagate gave us actual field data collected
from previous models, I think you would be shocked at the
correlation between MTBF and actual.
