I don't know if it counts for squat because electronics may be different and therefore not an apples to apples comparison, but Rocky Mountain keeps an impressive amount of older parts as stock items (not necessarily IN STOCK at the moment, courtesy COVID).... but I've phoned a few times reviving old COVID bikes and been shocked when they have stays, linkages, and hardware for some stuff that was getting real long in the tooth. Sure, they aren't publicizing a 10 year guarantee like Santa Cruz, but they do a better job than any of the other brands I've dealt with over my bike shop tenure. So if I trust anyone to support proprietary stuff for a long time, it's them.
