I don't beat them up either, but it seems a false peace to me, even after the purchase. To me it sets up a tension, that should something go wrong, I know I'll need to fight the warranty to get them to stand up to it, second guess if I've fulfilled the requirements, and jump through the hoops to get the benefit.
In that infotainment screen scenario, perhaps there's a salvage part for $200 that could be self-installed.
What if the car gets totaled, do you get a refund? What if your circumstances change and you get rid of the car next year. Or there's a global pandemic and you barely drive for a couple of years.
