It's not extremely common, but it does happen. The game developers try their best to make the story progression smooth. But things like corrupted save files, which can prevent you from finishing the story, can occur. Also, if you have a slow or unstable internet connection and the game requires online verification or data transfer during the story missions, you may face difficulties. Additionally, some players may misinterpret mission objectives, which can give the impression that they can't finish the story when in fact they can with the right approach.
