I think this has kinda always existed in some way with good shops (and brands). We had a local shop that kept records of bikes they sold so that if one of our local group broke a frame it was covered, no matter which one of us purchased it first. Trek didn't ask too many questions as long as he made the phone call. It really helped a ton of us younger (at the time) riders get into \*and\* afford the sport...esp since parts sucked so bad then (late 90s early 00s).
\*Edit\*
I should add that I too would love to see an official transferable warranty offered.
