What are you trying to accomplish here OP, just stirring the pot?
Most of us here know the warranty and we still choose to buy. You have known the policy and have purchased machines for years, so it doesn't sound like it has slowed you down.
Do we hear about people who do not get their issues fixed regardless of the warranty period? No, I can't think of one, but I'm sure there is an exception out there.
Worrying about theoretical, future customer service issues is a real waste of time.
I'm also not seeing the cheerleaders you keep referring to either.
