It is like those cars, that show you remaining range until low fuel turns on and range disappears. In this case when all your rounds are inside magwell and you do not see them, this is "low fuel" warning
BTW HK mags probably pass "military test" flying colours. But "internet test"? I'm not so sure
On serious note. It is little apple to oragnes, but I have example of AK style mags (polymer AK style mags are much easier to do than STANAG mags, I know). Back in 1994 polish factory in Radom was without magazine supplier (steel magazines manufacturer Wifama bankrupt and stopped making them). Guys in Radom decided for polymer mag. They started to make black mags, with steel reinforcement inserts everywhere. Some time later Army wanted to have translucent mags. Radom started to make white translucent mags, with steel reinforcing inserts. Those where big fail (maybe not so big, but if you have 5.56 AK, stay away from those mags). Polymer was getting brittle with time and mags were cracking. But mags where cracking around inserts. So they came with new design, that got rid of inserts, changed polymer to make it more elastic and those mags GTG. They pass all military acceptance tests here (based on old school USSR testing procedures) and our troops have zero problems with them. But Internet... Internet knows that AK polymer mag must have steel inserts...
My point is, that HK was not founded yesterday and not overnight. They know their trade and they make for military - everything they make is military grade. They do not have any other, translucent or not, polymer STANAG mag. They designed this one from the scratch. I think they know where weak points are. Can those mags be broken? Sure. Man is always stronger than matter. Magpul or Lancer mags can be broken if one is persistent enough to do that. Will those mag give up with time an use? Sure. As everything eventually will
