Both 50 move rule and stalemate are extremely rare at high level.

I did find one very recent example (from World Cup) where 50 move rule should have ended the game until Bruzon blundered at the end

Reason why they're so rare? This should be obvious, but GMs already know if a game is drawn or not and they'll agree prior to any forced drawing conditions.

I agree with you. I just posted an interesting example of where it almost happened.
