" -Impact of \# of previous warranty claims on increasing frame/component weights for future product generations"
To me this is a good thing. I've always bought longer travel bikes, not necessarily because I want the travel, but because shorter travel bikes in the past were too weak and I'd break them. These days I have options.
Another example is the crazy warranty coverage on carbon rims. This is a great thing because they're now all beefed up to the point that I won't get stranded deep in the backcountry due to a blown up wheel.
