GMC 2500 brake issue

Aren't the rubber hoses still steel lined? I'd heard that as they get old they can kink/collapse, with the inner part acting as a one way valve.

Yes there's still steel mesh supporting them. And the one way valve effect would make sense for a kink or broken down inner lining. There's very high pressure forcing fluid to the pistons, but very little forcing it back out.
