    …warranty generally doesn’t apply when a device is grossly mishandled. Surely that’s obvious.

      The difference in longevity isn’t running it over with a car. It’s the day to day handling of the device.

      It is impossible for an obligatory long term warranty on a device a meaningful portion of customers abuse to not result in responsible owners paying more to subsidize bad ones. The number of devices between 1 to 5 years that fail due to manufacturer defects compared to abuse is far, far less than negligible.
