That depends on meny things.
If the pool has been maintained throughout it's history under pristine conditions you may get upwards to a 40 yr. lifespan. That means above all proper water chemistry always in balance water. But that is an unrealistic thought with most homeowner/pool persons. If pH and Total Alkalinity are not maintained within recommended scales then you cannot expect more than a few years life out of the plaster surface. That could range anywhere from 6 months to a year with extremely low pH levels. Water gets aggressive at the fringe of the pH scale. At the upper end - pH readings consistently at, say, 8.0 you get scale deposits. These will also affect the heater and other equipment. At the other end of the spectrum, readings below 6.8, even for short periods, you get etching. This also has a decremental effect on your heater, pump and other equip. Either situation shortens the life of pool and related equipment. k

If your pool is made of both fiberglass and cement or gunite and the sides are fiberglass but the bottom is either cement or gunite is this a fiberglass pool that was filled with cement?
No. An older (possibly better) type of Fiberglass pool was constructed in this manner, with a concrete/Gunnite/Marcite trowled bottom and Fiberglass panels at the side of the pool. Panels are caulked together along vertical joints. Actually not a bad deal, but caulked joints must be maintained. Once the concrete starts showing through at the bottom of the pool, its time to drain and resurface. Bottom of pool should be acid washed every 3-5 years to keep it sparkling and remove mold, mildew, stains. If bottom surface is chipping off, its getting close to time to resurface bottom of pool. Bottom is treated just like any concrete/gunite/Marcite pool surface. Sides are simply brushed, caulked in timely manner.

Should the pool construction company fix a 2 year old gunite pool that started developing cracks within the first year?
I believe the contractor should be responsible for repairs if the cracks are due to faulty workmanship such as improper soil compaction or application of gunite in cold weather etc. If the cracks were caused by a force of nature such as a flood this should be covered by homeowners insurance. In closure what was the warranty on the pool. Most reputable gunite applicators provide a warranty on the pool shell.
