So why would the Parker Brothers put out an inferior trigger in a gun that was meant for more shooting in a season than most guns in a hunting situation be shot in their owner's lifetime?
The trigger in an SBT is as simple of a deal as you can get. It is one half of the Double trigger setup.

The First Generation parker trigger for double guns was one that was invented by someone else and used under license by parker. It must have proven to be somewhat problematic over a short enough time because eventually James Hayes developed and implemented the Second generation design, which was of his own design. Some of the mechanics involving the selector are very similar to the first type. The inertia block is completely different.

The second generation trigger was very reliable overall as it was never changed. And it is the same design that was used in the Parker Reproductions. It is in no way a simple mechanism. But, really not many of them are. The Miller is about a simple as it gets, which is why they have kind of gotten the reputation of being the most reliable or "best" SST out there (that was used on vintage guns). But, after nearly 100 years anything can become problematic and unreliable.

I personally feel like a single trigger on a double gun is the absolutely dumbest thing going. They can be very complex mechanisms that are very problematic to repair and can be finicky at times to work correctly. Different loads or even different shooters can effect the performance of the trigger.
Most barrel selectors are simply unsafe, and except for use on targets, they likely are never actually used much. There is no better or quicker barrel selector than just moving your finger from one trigger to the other. period.
