To me this sounds like a whole lot of otherwise, "personal reponsibility, family values" types saying that it's okay to cheat lie and steal as long as you don't get caught.
Companies lose billions of dollars a year on fraudulent warranty claims. "Oh it was like that when I bought it." "I don't know what happened." "It just fell off."
Now that companies have the technology to go back and say, "You abused the machine. No warranty for you," there are a lot of sour grapes in the crowd.
Remember that sensor that noticed the bag sucked into the radiator is also flashing a big red light on the dashboard for the operator to see, "Hey dumbazz, something's stuck in my radiator. I'm getting hot!" or the hour meter flashing, "Hey dumbazz, I'm at 99 hours. Change my oil NOW!"
You've got to be consciously negligent to ignore problems and just keep working until the machine falls on a pile these days. A maintained machine lasts longer and costs the owner less in parts and service. For what these machines cost nowadays I'd want all the help I can get. I also can't fault the manufacturer for trying to protect their investment too.
If they want to collect data on me and "target" advertising to me, so what? Means having to watch fewer commercials about stuff that I don't care about, and it still doesn't mean I have to buy anything. I can't fault a business for trying to exist.
