Default monofilament

Referring to posts I have read I am curious as to why it is stated that nylon or poly monofilament will not wash or wear as well as cotton thread? Just wondering.........can anyone point me to the science of it all as I would like to use it for "all over" quilting on my next quilt which will not be in direct sunlight but in fact spend most of its days on a bed in my little caravan. I believe it was pretty brittle stuff years ago but was under the impression that it was okay these days?
